Harmonise metadata in Journal route with other representations #387

Open scottbw opened 6 years ago

scottbw commented 6 years ago

The Journal route in the REST API is currently missing several items of metadata that are present in the OAI-PMH data model, or in other formats such as the XML "dump".

The fields missing from the Journals route of the REST API are:

  1. The internal CrossRef Journal API
  2. The Member ID for the associated publisher of the journal
  3. The alternate/variant journal title
  4. The language of the journal
  5. First date of publication of the journal
  6. Datetime when the record was created
  7. Datetime when the record was modified

Can these fields be added to the Journal route to make the dataset consistent and complete? Currently, we need to call both the REST API and use the OAI-PMH feed, and we'd much prefer to just use the REST API.

Note 7. is also covered in issue #384

Any ETA on this?

ppolischuk commented 6 years ago

None yet. We're currently working on a major database migration so REST API development is on hold. Hope to have more info soon.

Hi Patrick, any news?

ppolischuk commented 6 years ago

Still none. You'll see an update come out for the REST API that comprises the elasticsearch migration (assuming testing continues to go well), after which we may be able to provide a more useful update on when to expect these improvements.

Apologies for the delay.
