Package Names

General formatting

Package names in GOKb should have the following general format:
{ContentProviderContent Provider}:{Package name}

Content Provider : This is the name of the Organization in GOKb that you select as the content provider when loading a file into OpenRefine.
Whenever possible, the package name should be the name that Package Name: This is the name of the package as given by the content provider gives to the package in the original source.

Examples

Creating a package name

If the content provider does not assign a name or uses a name that is too vague to be useful, you will need to construct a name yourself. You will want to consider including the following elements:

Subject (not repeatable) could cab be any word or phrase describing a package’s topical content/scoping. These are important to distinguish packages from providers that sell their titles in subject packages and whose lists may otherwise have the same name. The subject may be part or all of the package name.

...

Scope (repeatable) could be a Year or string with scoping meaning, e.g., “title list,” “catalog,” “master list,” “backfile list,” etc. It is noted that Ref Data values encode what we care about controlling here, i.e. valid date and scope (extent). If there is a year, it should appear as the last scope statement. The year should define the content of the package as it was sold during a particular year (NOT the year the package file was created).
