FactGrid:Print publications data model
back to Data modeling
The Print Publications data model is the basic instruction for
- printed materials from single sheets to books
- multi volume publications
- periodical and serial publications
Articles, advertisements etc. — published in a (self-standing) print publication
Individual articles published in a collective volume, journal or newspaper
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:
- instance of (P2) — print publication (Q20)
- type of publication (P144) — contribution to a publication (Q14238)
- published in (P64) — state here the publication in which this contribution appeared and qualify with page references
- genre standardised (P121) — to state what kind of contribution this is (article, advertisement, document...)
Archival documents published in books and journals
The model case ist here:
The two properties to connect the Items and the publications are here again published in (P64) on the side of the document and publishes (P254) to make the respective statement on the publication.
Editions of books
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:
External identifiers
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.
