Django application to collect submitted DOIs, acquire their API provided metadata (Bibliographic metadata and citation graph metadata), allow limited (specified) annotation, and then make those records harvestable via OAI-PMH. Language Resource tagger—Adding a layer of language related metadata to published resources.

Some Django modules for OAI-PMH

https://pypi.org/user/jnphilipp/ his topic extraction module looks interesting.

Also look at the xsd schema here https://github.com/saw-leipzig/foaipmh/blob/5b15d5cc4700a3cccf497c47218c2fba6b3421d5/entrypoint.prod.sh#L5

Database Versioning
This depends on how the DB is set up. If we only have one record per item or one record per state... This needs more definition.

There is the issue of how do we add to a Dublin Core OAI record how it was changed over time.... I need to architect this out.

Views:
1. login with ORCID
2. query APIs (DOIs, ISBNs, ISSNs, ORCID, WikiData, etc.)
3. results display and annotation
4. submission
5. List of past submissions
6. update past submission screen (same as #3?)

If we ran a module like this:
https://pybliometrics.readthedocs.io/en/latest/classes/SerialTitle.html

Then we could take a reading on where the least spoken languages appear in the most highly ranked journals and determine if there was a bias or a loss to science.

Abstract and Table of Contents

Posted on by
Reply

If abstract is a sample of about-ness, then a table of contents is sample if is-ness. Some have said that journal articles should not have table of contents (instructional staff at the UNT program teaching the Metadata I course). I disagree, but so does Habing, et al (2001). Sometimes more than an abstract a table of contents can deliver a substantial understanding of what an article is and is about by displaying its structure. In fact many law review articles actually include a table of contents prior to the main part of the article. Law review articles can be over 70 pages in length. An outline offers useful information to the potential reader.

An example of an outline from a linguistics article.

Subjects for images

Somebody told me once that pictures don't have subjects because of the is-ness about-ness separation:

I disagree. Here are some things from the literature.

MODS and element order

Posted on by
Reply

Is element order a thing in XML? That is is the order of appearance of sibling elements within an XML document critical?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28268696/is-the-order-of-two-siblings-implementation-dependent
https://xmltutorial.info/xml/node-relationships/

Here is the response from the XSD author:

I haven’t read the entire thread, but I take it the question is whether elements in a mods record need to be in a particular order (i.e. in the order that they are listed in the schema). They don’t.

In the MODS schema, look for:

*********************************************************************** ** Definition of a single MODS record ** **********************************************************************

And following that:

<xs:element name="mods" type="modsDefinition"/>
<!-- -->
<xs:complexType name="modsDefinition">
<xs:group ref="modsGroup" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

……….

This says: a MODS record consists of one or more elements from the “modsGroup (at least one, because that is the default if there is no minOccurs, and as many as you want because maxOccurs=“unbounded”) enclosed within a element.

Next, look for:

*********************************************************************** ** These are the "top level" MODS elements ** ********************************************************************** —>

prior to that:

<xs:group name="modsGroup”>
<xs:choice>

…. and following it is the list of elements:


<xs:element ref="abstract"/>
<xs:element ref="accessCondition"/>
<xs:element ref="classification"/>
<xs:element ref="extension"/>
<xs:element ref="genre"/>
<xs:element ref="identifier"/>
<xs:element ref="language"/>
<xs:element ref="location"/>

……………. and so on.

“Choice: says “choose any one of these elements."

So all together, it says choose an elements from the list. Any element. And then repeat as desired.

So you could choose “genre”, and then choose “classification”, and so on. Chosen in no particular order.

And then enclose your list within a 

<mods>

record, in the order in which you chose the elements.
