Loading and Previewing Updated Book Metadata to PMC
I know we've talked about this in broad strokes, but this came up in our testing, so want to document handling of sending book metadata updates once we've fully built out the metadata modals.
Book Metadata is used for chapter-processed content in two places:
- TOC - and Book Citation
- Book metadata on chapter Bookshelf URLS - and to build a full Chapter Citation
This means when Book Metadata in UI is updated, the following needs to happen:
- TOC is sent to Load to PMC
- ALL current Published Version of ALL chapters are sent to Load to PMC again
To be confirmed / discussed with stakeholders for sense checking:
But my assumption (from a bibliographic content standpoint) is that updated Book Metadata would NOT be sent to the following:
- Previous published versions of chapters
- Archived chapters
The reason we would NOT send updated metadata to that content is that the current editors / publishers were not involved in the production of that content and so it should remain "frozen" at the point it was published.
So I think we will need to:
- implement a way to trigger updated book metadata per those requirements
- have a preview link of the TOC / landing page on Bookshelf from the Book Metadata tab if people want to click on it to see how their book metadata displays on Bookshelf. Keep in mind the data flow for the TOC once it is loaded to PMC will be the same as any chapter-processed component.
