Book Collection
Trying to analyze the XML file of a book I concluded to some points regarding the collections of a book. So Let's have as a reference the below structure of XML:
<collection-meta collection-type="book-series">
<title-group>
<title>Programme Grants for Applied Research</title>
</title-group>
<volume-in-collection><volume-number>8.2</volume-number></volume-in-collection>
<issn publication-format="print">2050-4322</issn>
<issn publication-format="electronic">2050-4330</issn>
</collection-meta>
<collection-meta collection-type="ncbi-books-collection">
<title-group>
<title>Programme Grants for Applied Research</title>
</title-group>
<collection-id collection-id-type="pmcid">ukpgfarcollect</collection-id>
</collection-meta>
Some are queries more for confirming that my thoughts are on the right road, and some others are questions on what we need to have in SFM.
-
A book could have multiple Collections
-
A collection has a title,
collection-type
(book-series, ncbi-books-collection) and it's own metadatacollection-id
,issn
.
Query 1
Do we have predefined collection Types (collection-type
)? do they play any particular role in the workflow of the SFM or is just texts
that
should be assigned to a book from within system admin?
Query 2
Are there more than those collections metadata which is not in my example? I can only see collection-id, ISSN, title
.
Since we need to create collections from within the System Admin probably we need a list of field attributes that are going to be saved in our database.
