GOKb Content Providers

In order to check-in or ingest an OpenRefine project into GOKb, you will need to specify a Provider from the drop-down list. If the organization you wish to use is not presented in the list, there are two possible reasons:

  • The Organization is not yet in GOKb
  • The Organization is in GOKb but not marked as a Content Provider

To add the Content Provider role:

  • Go to the GOKb web interface
  • Search for the relevant organization (check for name variants and abbreviations as well as the full name)
  • If you find the relevant organization
    • Click on the organisation name or the 'Show' button
    • Check to see if they already have a role of "Content Provider"
      • If they do, they should appear in the list of Content Providers in Refine - check again, and report it as a bug if it is not there
      • If they do not, look for the "Content Provider" role in the drop down menu, select it, and click the 'Add' button
  • If you do not find the relevant organization
    • You must be an Adminstrator to create a new organization. If you are not an Adminstrator, please contact someone in your organization who is.
    • Use 'Create' -> 'Org' to create a new Organization
    • Fill in the details you have available (at minimum the Name)
    • Save the record
    • Search for the Organization via the Search -> Organization menu
    • Add the role of "Content Provider" as described above
