Metadata for items

[karindalziel]

• Types of metadata we want:
  • At the top:
    • "Source text" (or some such name) with main citation information (title, date, place of publication, in the case of published works; title, date, and repository info in the case of archival items [correspondence, MSS])
    • A link to "More information about this item..." (or some such phrase, similar to the Cather Archive's arrangement) that takes you to more metadata at the bottom
  • At the bottom:
    • Some sort of "Cite this item" category
    • Source file (with link to XML)
    • Document ID (?)
    • Editorial note
    • Rights information (from availability statement in header)
    • Contributors to the digital file
    • Link to the bibliography...?

I will need more guidance on the site this item category like... what citation style(s) should I use? If an editor could pick a couple of pages (like, one repository item and one published item) and provide a sample of what this item would look like for each I can code it up

TOP:

Source text For something in a periodical (short story, poem, essay, etc.): Charles W. Chesnutt, "Baxster's Procrustes," The Atlantic Monthly 93, no. 1 (June 1904): 823–830. (this example from ccda.works00072)

For a book: Charles W. Chesnutt, The Colonel's Dream (New York: Doubleday, Page, & Co., 1905). (this example from ccda.works00069)

For a manuscript (galley proofs): Charles W. Chesnutt, The Marrow of Tradition (galley proof) [ca. 1901], ocm30145441, Fine Arts and Special Collections Department, Cleveland Public Library. (example from ccda.proof00001) [this date does not exist in the xml, I think? just 1901]

IF FORMAT = PERIODICAL {person role= creator_display.name} "{title}," {em}{source}{em} {medium} ({date}): {extent}. (this example from ccda.works00072)

• using medium to hold volume/issue
  • if volume and issue - 93, no. 1
  • if volume no issue: - 93

IF FORMAT = book For a book: Charles W. Chesnutt, The Colonel's Dream (New York: Doubleday, Page, & Co., 1905). (this example from ccda.works00069)

if "title level="m"" and does NOT have msDesc, format = book

For a manuscript (galley proofs): Charles W. Chesnutt, The Marrow of Tradition ({if subcategory = galley proof [(gally proof)] [ca. 1901], (id number, put under "alternative" ocm30145441), Collection, and Repository (currently only repository) Fine Arts and Special Collections Department, Cleveland Public Library. (example from ccda.proof00001)
