Package Names

General formatting

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

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

Package Name: This is the name of the package as given by the content provider in the original source. If the original source contains a year in the package name, you should retain the year information in the same format as the provider's naming convention.

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 can construct a name yourself. You will want to consider including the following elements:

Subject (not repeatable) could can 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.

Package scope(not repeatable) refers to the coverage of the package. The most common scope terms used in package names will be "front file" and "back file." You may also use the scope term "all titles" to refer to a package that contains a provider's complete holdings.

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 statementpart of the package name. 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).

Project Names

General formatting

Project names should follow the general format:
{Content Provider}: {Package name}: {YYYYMMDD}

Content Provider: This is the name of the Organization in GOKb that you select as the content provider when loading a file into OpenRefine.

Package Name: This is the name of the package as given by the content provider in the original source.

YYYYMMDD: This is the date that the project was created in OpenRefine.

An exception to this rule occurs when a project contains multiple packages. In this case, you can replace the package name with a more general indication of what the project contains. (E.g., "all packages," "subject packages.")
