General Description[edit]

Current journals are published by Verlag der Zeitschrift fuer Naturforschung as three corpora:

  • Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A – Physical Sciences,
  • Zeitschrift für Naturforschung B – Chemical Sciences,
  • Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C – Biosciences

The backfiles from 1946 to 2001 will be published as Open-Access publications in PubMan. The collection consists of about 180.000 pages.


Requirements to the MPDL[edit]

Make digitized back files available on the web as a browsing structure. It would be best if we could follow the browsing approach of the publisher, e.g. http://www.znaturforsch.com/aa/v57a/c57a.htm

The browsing structure is as follows:

Corpus (Journal) > Volume (Year) > Issue > Article

Originally, at the volume level the TOC of the volume is displayed, with article titles, authors and links to the corresponding PDFs: http://www.znaturforsch.com/aa/v57a/c57a.htm


Requirements to scanning agency[edit]

Digitize back files and provide descriptive and structural metadata on:

  • Journal
    • Title of Journal
    • Publisher
    • ISSN
  • Volume
    • Table of Contents
    • Number
    • Year
  • Issue
    • Number
    • Year
    • Title
    • Table of contents
    • Conference
  • Article
    • Title
    • Creators
    • Source (Issue etc.)
    • Source of Source (Volume etc.)
    • Categories/Keywords:
      • Original Communication
      • Erratum
      • Notes
      • Reports

Mapping of requirements to the scanning agency to the PubMan MDS[edit]

  • Journal -> pub. item of type "journal"
    • Title of Journal -> title
    • publisher -> PublishingInfo
    • ISSN -> IdType ISSN and ID (number)
  • Volume -> object in the system without MDs attached
    • Table of Contents -> list of issues that are associated to that volume
    • number -> attribute of the object
    • year -> attribute of the object
  • Issues -> pub. item of type "issue"
    • number -> issue
    • year -> date
    • title -> title
    • table of contents -> list of articles, that are associated to that issue
    • conference -> title of event
  • Article(s) -> pub. item of type "article"
    • title -> title
    • crators -> creator
    • Source (Issue etc.)
      • SourceType = Issue
      • Title of Issue -> Title of Source
      • numner of issue -> issue
      • Sequence number or Start page and end page
    • Source of Source (Volume etc.)
      • Volume number -> Volume
    • Categories/Keywords -> subject
      • Orgiginal Communication
      • Erratum
      • Notes
      • Reports

Check on the GDZ:

  • provide TOC in METS, provide volume and issue and journal structural maps in METS


Feedback from the scanning agency[edit]

  • Corpus A and C are available completely; in Corpus B 27 volumes are missing.
  • Testscans of the old volumes are completed by 29th of May
  • Before 29th of May we will receive preliminary METS sets
