Re: [Dspace-tech] Best Practices for Journal Articles

2008-06-04 Thread Vlastimil Krejcir
   Hi,

   you might be interested in the Czech Digital Mathematics Library 
project. We use DSpace together with Manakin to store and present 
journals. I'm not sure what do you mean by the articles tied together. 
You can look at http://dml.cz/ if this is what you want. If you have any 
question just send me an e-mail.

   cheers

Tom

What works well for us is to create a separate collection for each issue (the Top-level or Sub-Community will then be the title of the journal, depending on the model you use). Each article is then submitted individually with its own metadata attached. In the end, we create an interactive index page on the Collection home page which lists the articles in that issue. See https://www.up.ac.za/dspace/handle/2263/4136for an example.

Kind regards,
Ina

 I think DC.Relation.isPartOf (and the inverse relation
 DC.Relation.hasPart) is a good idea, but why would you use dumb
 string-matching? Why not use the (handle) URI of the items? e.g. the
 DSpace item representing the issue would have dc.relation.haspart fields
 each equal to the handle of an article, and each article could have an
 ispartof field equal to the handle of the issue record.

Because we weren't wanting to have a separate record for the issue; we
just wanted to be able to group articles..

I don't think there's one answer to this. Partly it depends on the
journal's production workflow and what they're willing to give you.
I'm not a big fan of archiving whole issues in a single item, but
sometimes that's how I get 'em. Such is life.

 to an individual author's work, as well as let users more easily find the

We're looking at this where we are too. I suspect the way we're going
to go is to write a small Manakin Aspect that groups items based on
dumb string-matching in a specific Dublin Core field (probably
relation.ispartof). There's almost certainly a better way, but we
think this should be reasonably feasible and effective.

I don't have an ETA, but if you're interested, ping me in late July or
early August and ask if we have code yet.

I'm currently working on a strategy to utilize the bibliontology for  
adding content types to dspace Items (and eventually Colleciton and  
Bitstreams as well).

http://www.bibliontology.com/

The idea would to be able to describe the Bitstreams in an Item or  
the Items in a collection with bibo terms (classes) such as to  
capture the type of the Item in a standard way. This includes  
Articles and Issues.

http://wiki.bibliontology.com/index.php/Examples#Article

You'll notice the example reuses dc:isPartOf as a means to reference  
the Journal that Article is part of. (But should be  
dcterms:isPartOf). I'll excuse the error as this ontology is in a  
development stage.

Introducing a schema with a bibo namespace and terms might be an  
initial stepping stone to reaching the goal of expressing whole RDF/ 
OWL Ontologies in DSpace metadata and more specifically, being able  
to have a clean representation of types.

One of my hopes in the future is to actually reuse the RDF  
representations of dc, dcterms, rdf, rdfs, and bibo as the metadata  
registry files and see the whole registry be upgraded to be true RDF  
Schema.

Ultimately, this discussion exemplifies some of the requirements we  
should be documenting and gathering for the 2.0 Data Model work later  
this year.
