The BAse de COnnaisance Nationale (BACON) platform is a knowledge base provided by the Agence bibliographique de l'enseignement supérieur (Abes) to facilitate accurate and reliable reporting of electronic resources in the catalogues and discovery tools of institutions in the French-speaking academic community and beyond.

  • [...] the team in charge of BACON assists content producers in the design of KBART files, analyses them and provides a diagnosis of the metadata supplied before they are made available in the knowledge base.
  • BACON centralises KBART files of the various content producers, in particular French-speaking publishers and scientific distributors, and feeds the commercial knowledge bases used by French libraries. This entry point saves time and visibility for the content producer.
  • The data, released under CCO, are freely reusable, without having to specify their origin. The frequency of updating is at the discretion of the content producers, at each modification on the platform or at regular frequency: daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
