The Print Publications data model is the basic instruction for
* printed materials from single sheets to books
* multi volume publications
* periodical and serial publications


__TOC__
__TOC__


== Sample items (German, regrettably) ==


== Articles, advertisements etc. &mdash; published in a (self-standing) print publication ==
=== Book ===


=== Individual articles published in a collective volume, journal or newspaper ===
[Dohlhoff, Gunther H. / Schneefuß, Walter:] Handbuch der Gemeinschaftspflege. Herausgegeben von Gunther H. Dohlhoff und Walter Schneefuß. 2. Aufl. München: Zentralverlag der NSDAP, Franz Eher Nachf., 1939. 184 S.: mit Abb., 1 Taf., 1 Bl. 8°. Lw.: 3,80. [1. Aufl. 1938] [Link]


You can open Items on any section of a publication — it might be an article in a journal or an advertisement in a news paper. State:  
* [[Item:Q504708]]


# '''instance of''' ([[Property:P2|P2]]) — '''print publication''' ([[Item:Q20|Q20]])
=== Book in a series, special edition of a journal ===
# '''type of publication''' ([[Property:P144|P144]]) — '''contribution to a publication''' ([[Item:Q14238|Q14238]])
# '''published in''' ([[Property:P64|P64]]) — state here the publication in which this contribution appeared and qualify with page references
# '''genre standardised''' ([[Property:P121|P121]]) — to state what kind of contribution this is (article, advertisement, document...)


=== Archival documents published in books and journals ===
Böhme, Herbert: Die Losung. Ein Weihespiel (Der Appell, H. 4). München: Zentralverlag der NSDAP, Franz Eher Nachf., [1937]. 23 S. 8°. Kt.: -,20. [Link]


The model case ist here:
* [[Item:Q484922]]


* [[Item:Q9199|Letter Johann Adam Weishaupt to Franz Anton von Massenhausen, Eichstätt, 1776-09-12]]
Unser Reich. Sonderdruck: Der Reichsorganisationsleiter &mdash; Hauptschulungsamt der NSDAP. [Bearbeitung und Gestaltung: Amt für Schulungsbriefe im Hauptschulungsamt der NSDAP. Verantwortlich: Reichsamtsleiter F.H. Woweries]. (Der Schulungsbrief 8. Sonderdruck). Berlin: Zentralverlag der NSDAP, Franz Eher Nachf. [Zweigstelle], [1941]. 44 S.: mit Abb. 4°. Kt.: -,15. [Link]


The two properties to connect the Items and the publications are here again '''published in''' ([[Property:P64|P64]]) on the side of the document and '''publishes''' ([[Property:P254|P254]]) to make the respective statement on the publication.
* [[Item:Q505683]]


== Editions of books ==
=== A journal or book series ===
'''Series'''


We are looking here at print publications, the entire edition with its specific print run — not at single copies nor at "works" like "Robinson Crusoe" or the "Iliad" as they appear in various editions and translations. Ay new edition edition, even if of the same design as the previous, should make a new Item in this group. Each of these Items should have the following statements:
Der Appell. [Im Auftrage der Obersten SA.-Führung herausgegeben von der Abteilung Weltanschauung und kulturelle Dienstgestaltung. Bearbeitet von Obersturmführer Herbert Böhme]. München: Zentralverlag der NSDAP, Franz Eher Nachf., 1937-1939. 8°. Kt.: -,20 (Heft). [Link]


# '''instance of''' [[Property:P2|P2]] — '''Print publication''' ([[Item:Q20|Q20]])
* [[Item:Q481221]]
# '''type of publication''' ([[Property:P144|P144]]) — '''book publication''' ([[Item:Q10517|Q10517]])


=== External identifiers ===
''' Journal'''


If you are not interested in using the full load of bibliographic details in further searches, just state an external identifier into a data base that gives all further details. Good identifiers for early modern books are the ESTC, the VD catalogues, the STCN etc. Valuable general library identifiers are the PPN numbers or the ISBN.
Unser Wille und Weg. Monatsblatt der Reichspropagandaleitung der NSDAP. Hrsg.: Dr. Goebbels. München: Zentralverlag der NSDAP, Franz Eher Nachf., monatl.: 1.1931 &ndash; 3.1939, 9.1939 &ndash; 11.1941 [?]. 8°. Einzelnummer Ausg. A: -,20; Ausg. B: -,30. (Ausg.

# Qualifier '''shelf mark''' ([[Property:P10|P10]])

* Treat volumes that could be bought separately as individual publications with an item for each volume.
== External identifiers ==
* Treat volumes that could only be bought in one set as segments of the publication.


=== Books that appear in a series ===
If you are not interested in using the full load of bibliographic details in further searches, just state an external identifier into a data base that gives all further details. Good identifiers for early modern books are the ESTC, the VD catalogues, the STCN etc. Valuable general library identifiers are the PPN numbers or the ISBN.

Footnotes

  1. If your author uses an apparent pseudonym and you want to collect the information he gives about him or herself as a real human being, create an Item like "Unidentified author Adamantes (1716)", and state with P2 that he was a human being, P154, male, and so on.
  2. The property needs an Item-connection and we create Items for the various pseudonyms for that purpose.
