Jointly Administered Knowledge Environment
The Jointly Administered Knowledge Environment, or jake, was the first open source OpenURL link server. It was a free database created by Yale University. Jake contained metadata about periodicals, including which databases a periodical appeared in, and whether it was indexed, abstracted, or full-text. Additionally, "Jake contains descriptions of 162 of the widely subscribed-to databases, search interfaces and free standing electronic services. Specifications such as title lists, number of titles with citations, and number of titles with full text are given for database descriptions."[1] Jake was used by Simon Fraser University to create their own electronic resource management solution[2]. Despite its initial growth, by December 2006, jake was no longer being supported.[3] As of July 14, 2009, the jake website now directs users to OCLC's WorldCat Link Manager, an expensive subscription service that replicates what jake once offered for free.
