PubMan Look-Up Services
work in progress
These specifications describe the integration of various look-up and web 2.0 services into PubMan.
WorldCat[edit]
- intergration of WorldCat Look-Up into the researcher portfolio
- possibility for the user to search for additional works of the same author (e.g. beyond a particular organziation or period of time)
- example search within all fields for works of "Kurt Mehlhorn"
- user gets a range of results to choose the appropriate person
- there is also the possibility to refine the search for special formats, years, content, languages, and topics in a second step
- WorldCat offers the possibility to implement a search plug-in for other websites
- the html code for the search box is available on WorldCat after a prior registration; it includes ones WorldCat Affiliate ID
- it's possible to adjust the embedded styles to have the box's appearance conform to one's site
- here are the three available versions of the search plug-in with their html codes:
Version | Code | Example |
Narrow Search Box (150 pixels wide) | html code for Narrow Search Box | |
Wide Search Box (250 pixels wide) | html code for Wide Search Box | |
Tab Search Box (500 pixels wide) | html code for Tab Search Box |
- I would suggest to choose the narrow or wide search box
- via the offered search boxes an automatic WorldCat search within the fields title, subject or author starts
- for our use a search within the author field would be sufficient; the text in the search box should be adapted accordingly
- WorldCat search possibilities within the author field:
- via truncation (e.g. "mehl*")
- only the surname (e.g. "mehlhorn")
- surname plus given name abbreviated (e.g. "mehlhorn, k." or "k. mehlhorn")
- surname plus complete given name (e.g. "kurt mehlhorn" or "mehlhorn, kurt")
- pubman-style is: "surname, given name" -> if possible the name of the author should be transfered automatically to the WorldCat search box on the researcher portfolio page in pubman -> so only one click is required to start up the search for further works of the same author
ISI times cited[edit]
Bookmark[edit]
With a "Bookmark" link, we can provide pubman users an easy way to save the pubman item view directly to their personal bookmarking page.
Delicious and Connotea[edit]
- two possibillities:
- one button with two options for bookmarking (Delicious & Connotea) or
- two buttons -> one for Delicious bookmark and one for Connotea bookmark
- on the pubman item list the user chooses one item for detailed view
- at the bottom of the pubman item view page the user finds the possibility to bookmark the choosen article
- referring to possibility 1 (one button with two options) the user just finds a "Bookmark" button at the end of the page
- in the next step the user chooses between Delicious and Connotea for bookmarking the item
- afterwards the user is forwarded to his/her userpage (with a prior login) within the respective bookmark option
- subsequently the user notices that the item has been saved to his/her personal Delicious/Connotea page
- referring to possibility 2 (two buttons), the user finds two options for bookmarking the displayed article at the end of the item view page -> Delicious or Connotea
- the further workflow equals the one decribed above
- which of the two possibilities should be chosen:
- choose possibility 1, if it is planned to implement other bookmark services within the next months
- choose possibility 2, if just these two bookmark options (Delicious and Connotea) will be provided by pubman
- how to implement:
