The purpose of this service is to provide methods to deal with controlled lists of named entities to assure data quality and facilitate data access and data entry. Read more on the background here.

Introduction[edit]

The Control of named entities (Cone) service at present supports the named entity types listed below. It is integrated with PubMan in the publication metadata editing forms via "auto suggest" component for respective metadata edit fields (journal name, language of the publication).

Operations[edit]

The CoNE service supports the following operations:

searching (based on the metadata of named entity i.e. in case of journals: journal name, publisher name, place of publication
retrieving details of selected named entity e.g. retrieving the metadata of a selected journal based on the journal identifier

Operation	Status	Input	Output	Description
query	implemented	(opt)q:String - the query (see below) (opt)[predicate]: String - a value for a certain field (see below) (opt)lang: String - the language as ISO 636-1 code (opt)n: int - The maximum number of results that should be returned	String	Scope:Public Gives back a list of resources/ids in the given language (default 'en') matching the given query. The number of maximum hits given back is configurable (default 50).
details	implemented	id: String (opt)lang: String	String	Scope:Public Returns all available information on the resource in the given language (default 'en') identified by the given id.
all	implemented	(opt)lang: String	String	Scope:Public Gives back a list of all resources/ids in the given language (default 'en').

The query parameter q may contain a single term (e.g. q=nature) or multiple terms (e.g. q=psychology therapy). CoNE will return those entries that contain all terms in one or more of the searchable fields. Putting the query into quotes e.g. q="John Doe" will cause CoNE to search for exact matches, wildcards (*) are allowed. As an alternative to search all fields, it is also possible to search certain fields (predicates) by specifying the predicate name and a query similar to the syntax described above (e.g. foaf:family_name=Miller or http://purl.org/escidoc/metadata/terms/0.1/suffix="*x"). The namespace of the predicate can be given fully or as prefix, prefixes are predefined here.

Interfaces[edit]

The CoNE service comes with a flexible interface definition that defines the Input/Output formats. The following formats are available

Interface	Status	Input	Output	Description
jquery	implemented	HTTP Get-Request	jquery proprietary list, JSON	HTTPServlet used by jquery Javascript components for autosuggest features
options	implemented	HTTP Get-Request	Format that can easily be read by Java to generate JSF options	HTTPServlet usable by Java a.o.
json	implemented	HTTP Get-Request	pure JSON	HTTPServlet usable by Javascript/AJAX components
html	implemented	HTTP Get-Request	(X)HTML	HTTPServlet that provides a human readable overview on the data (planned to be used for author pages)
rdf	implemented	HTTP Get-Request	RDF/XML	HTTPServlet that provides a RDF view on the data
unapi	planned	HTTP Get-Request	varying	HTTPServlet that conforms to the unAPI interface specification
vcard	planned	HTTP Get-Request	ASCII(UTF-8 for single values possible using BASE64 encoding?)	HTTPServlet that conforms to the vCard specification (RFC2425)

Alternative title Any alternative name of the event

Abbreviation Abbreviated name of the event (e.g. STOC)

Start date Start date of the event

End date End date of the event

Invitation status The information if the creator was explicitly invited

Remark Sabine: Should this information be stored in controlled metadata record?

Remark Ulla: No, not to my understanding

To my understanding, the invitation status can only be specified for each talk individually and is therefore no generic metadata for the conference --Inga 12:19, 28 December 2007 (CET)

-=== Core service "organizational unit handler ===
-The eSciDoc system provides a core service "organizational unit handler which manages the organizational units for the eSciDoc system. In future, this core service might be extended by an additional service for named entity control for organizational units, to be able to track and manage more information needed for organisational units.

-To understand better the issues of controlled named entities for a certain application, we decided to start with a prototype service for PubMan on controlled named entitites.

+=== MPG Units ===
-# select an authority file (corporate bodies, journals, authors) and available external source
+==== Potential metadata elements ====
-# create (import) data locally into an authority file from a selected source
+'''Complete name'''
-# implement the referencing from the PubMan edit interface (enable automatic grow of the authority file for start when reference is not done)
+In Englisch and/or German?
-# create very simple viewer/editor for the authority file data
-# get feedback from potential pilot users
-# extend the prototype with another authority file and repeat the steps 2-5
-# modify/add functionalities based on the functional and technical feedback
