Once you have located a provider's title lists, you'll want to do a quick evaluation of their quality to make sure they're suitable for use in GOKb and gain an understanding of how each list is formatted.
Steps
Step 1: Verify that key GOKb columns are present
...
- Determine whether the provide is including historic titles on its list.
- Some providers will include all previous iterations of a title with appropriate access dates for each based on when it was published.
- Some providers will list only the current iteration of a title and group all available coverage under that title.
- If historic titles are provided, determine whether the title list includes any linkages between earlier and later titles.
- If a provider is using KBART phase II, they may create links by populating the "preceding_publication_title_id" field.
- Some providers may just use free text notes to indicate histories.
- Depending on the size of your list, you may wish to add title history data to your list before adding it to OpenRefine or GOKb.
