ESciDoc Services CitationStyleManager/Journal Specific Styles

Topics

 * to discuss the design on the journal specific citation styles

Issues

 * possibilties to cite a journal article in different ways depending on journal itself?
 * shall these be allowed for journals in CoNE only?
 * if not - what will happen, when a journal is not in CONE?
 * how to relate CoNE journals and Citation styles definition (still keeping them loosely coupled as services?)
 * How will the author know wich citation style is choosen for a journal of the article?
 * What will happen, when 2 institutes do not have the same citation style for the same journal?
 * What will happen when a jurist author write an article for non-jurist journal without special "CONE-Flag" (for example one of our directors writes for iX).

Approaches initially discussed

 * A: make relations in CoNE to the citation style ID
 * B: define Citaton Styles for a Journal may be CoNE ID or ISSN or Journal name etc.)
 * both have cons/pros i.e.
 * Approach A:
 * Citation styles must be referencable (makes sense to have repository for citation styles)
 * Citation manager i.e. Transformation (not clear which one at present) must always query CoNE (dependency)
 * External citation web-services may be involved to deliver the citation


 * Approach B:
 * Citation styles can be independent on CoNE (i.e. any metadata journal name, issn or CoNE ID can be used for selecting the appropriate citation to apply)
 * External citation web-services may still be involved (transformation/export)

Structuring the citation styles

 * 1 citation style=1 journal ?
 * 1 institute = 1 citation style ? (with journal-specific definitions)

Outcome 12.02.2010

 * 1 citation style for JusCMS
 * new function in CitStyle manager AskCone (journalId)
 * Cone contains the Id(Name) of the layout element that should be applied for the journal
 * cit manager has to cache relevant Cone data (performance issue)
 * cache refreshement has to be triggered in a e.g. hourly interval
 * cache refreshment contains only citstyle relevant journals
 * variants for the institutes for same citstyle and same journal have to be checked if possible
 * coneID of journal has to be in publication metadata
 * Journal-spec citations are valid only for several JusCMS genres with source Journal
 * Journal-spec citations will be handled as citation style layout elements
 * Cone model modification for journals
