A. Data Element Definitions

[an error occurred while processing this directive] [an error occurred while processing this directive] [an error occurred while processing this directive] [an error occurred while processing this directive]
Bibliographic Elements MMF Data Definition
Location/Access Elements
"Link" (R)
"<A HREF=" + "'" + Presentation.url + "'" + ">"
"Link Text" (R)

[literal text of "Link" URL used as anchor text] + "</A>"

"Material Specified" (R) "  (" + Part.material_specified + ")"
"Note" (R) "Note:  " + Part_Level_Notes.note

(R) = Location/Access elements are repeatable in clusters

B. Selection & Sorting

  1. Identify MMF/CLIO ejournal subset records that have more than one instance of Presentation.url
  2. Output one bibliographic citation per page
  3. On the same page, output group of Link, Link Text, Material Specified & Note elements for each Presentation.url present in MMF record

C. Schematic Detail Record Output

<DL>
<DT><B>["Title"]</B> — ["Imprint"]["ISSN"] — ["CLIO Backlink"]
Non-Repeatable Bibliographic Citation
<BR>
<BR>
<DD> ["Link" + "Link Text" #1] ["(Material Specified") #1]
<BR><B>Note:  </B>["Note" #1]
Repeatable cluster; "Material specified" is present

<BR>
<BR>
<DD>["Link" + "Link Text" #2]
<BR><B>Note:  </B>["Note" #2]

Repeatable custer; no "material specified" present

[etc.]
</DL>

 

D. Markup notes

The basic ejournals Detail "bibliographic citation" display is the same as the canonical citation display. The surrounding DL/DT notation and "Location/Access" display are different, however. Specifics:

  1. <DL><DT><DD> notation is used for the citation, as shown in the schematic above
  2. If "Imprint", "ISSN" or "CLIO Backlink" elements are present (i.e., is non-null), precede each with space, em-dash (i.e.,   &#151 ), space; if element is not present, do not insert corresponding em-dash.
  3. <BR><BR>is inserted before each <DD> present
  4. <BR> is inserted before each Note element present

E. Page Layout

  • Do not include HTML "HEAD" or "BODY" elements in files published through this process, as they will be inserted as server-side includes into documents already-including these element

  • Enclose content of each page in a single table with the following attributes:

    • ROWS="1"
    • COLS="1"
    • WIDTH="640"
    • BORDER="0"
    • CELLSPACING="0"
    • CELLPADDING="2"
    • CLASS="lmargin10"

e.g.,
<TABLE ROWS="1" COLS="1" WIDTH="640"BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="2" CLASS="lmargin10">
<TR>
<TD>
[Page content]
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

F.  File Names, Directories, Shells & File Management

  1. Output data files for all Detail Records in a single subdirectory:

    /cu/lweb/data/eresources/ejournals/detail/


  2. Detail file names should be generated based on the CLIO record key (where in MMF?) as follows:

    "columbia.clio." + OrigID + ".html"    

       e.g.    columbia.clio.ARD0580.html

  3. Create corresponding "shell" files for each Detail file & output to the following directory:

    /cu/lweb/eresources/ejournals/
    detail/

  4. Title element of shell file should be: "Resource Details"


  5. When publishing new data, delete and remove all files in the production directories, i.e.

    EXCEPTION: Do not delete the "index.html" file present in any subdirectory; this file will be created manually (or be a poke-error).

  6. Makeshell: Insert standard Ejournal header logo, e.g.,

    <IMG src="/cu/lweb/images/banners/logo.ejournals.jpg">

    but leave 'banner caption area' blank.

G. Sample Output


H. Pending Updates

  • 7/11/2001 -- Need to correct output to insert em-dashes (&#151;) between bib elements as specified in Section 2 above.  (Sample Detail Page reflects spec, but production pages do not.)

  • 7/11/2001 -- Need to update layout to include "CLIO Backlink" as indicated in sections A-D above

  • 7/11/2001 -- Need to delete all detail files in production "detail" directory before adding new ones, per Section F.5 above

  • 7/11/2001 -- Possibly make URL display texts same as in CLIO, e.g.,

    • Electronic Access:
    • Related Resource:

I.  Revision Log

  • 4/2001:  Material Specified & Part-Level note added/revised; layout/markup revised; directory location clarified.
  • 7/11/2001:  CLASS="lmargin10" added to spec. (Needs fixing?)
