The goals of the metadata management subproject are the following :
- Private users. Build a search engine to allow private users in Switzerland to search and access the content which is licensed for them. This will be done using the Swissbib existing infrastructure. The registration and authentication mechanism will be created together with SWITCH.
- Integration in Library Discovery tools. For participating libraries which already have some kind of discovery tools, the integration of content should be seamless, for example with the creation of dedicated targets in ExLibris SFX or Proquest Intota. The delivery of title lists in KBART format is also planned.
- Gain experience in article metadata management. The management of publisher’s metadata at the article level didn’t happen yet in Switzerland. The goal is to gain experience with this to deliver additional services later on (for example within the SLSP project) : text and data mining, discovery tools for smaller institutions (university of applied sciences) as well as a collaboration with international partners.
The goal is to sign the contracts in Spring 2016 and have the portal live at the end of 2016.
The metadata management subproject for the National Licences has been allocated in October 2015 to the Swissbib team at the University of Basel.

Title Lists
The title lists for National Licences can be found here.
Activation in SFX
Since June 2016, dedicated targets for Swiss National Licences have been available in SFX :
They will be maintained and updated centrally if needed. Therefore we recommend to use these targets.
The content of the targets is based on the KBART titles lists.
Activation in EZB
Under the lead of UZH, Swiss libraries organized themselves to import Swiss national licences packages in EZB. For each package, there is an institution which takes care of the package :
- Cambridge University Press -> Zentralbibliothek Zürich (online.journals@zb.uzh.ch)
- De Gruyter -> HSG Bibliothek (elibrary@unisg.ch)
- Oxford University Press -> UZH, Hauptbibliothek (journals@hbz.uzh.ch)
The packages have been available since mid-July 2016. You can find them on the Konsortien webpage, under “Nationallizenzen Schweiz”.
There is an online guide dedicated to the administrators of the Consortium Packages.
Code and technical documentation
You can have a look at the code related to this project and at the internal technical documentation. Both are available online.
