Chamberlin (1944) Chilopoda FMNH - linking and curating data #108

Open Archilegt opened 1 year ago

Archilegt commented 1 year ago

The work: Chamberlin, R. V. (1944): Chilopods in the collections of Field Museum of Natural History. Field Museum of Natural History, Zoological Series, 28 (4): 173-216. [Publication 558] https://doi.org/10.5962/bhl.title.3098

The "volume": The DOI points to https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/3098 That work was scanned by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It should not be a BHL "bibliography" element but an "item" element. It is not linked to the rest of the FMNH Zoological Series in BHL. The "volume" is not a volume but a number. The number contains the index to volume 28 on p. 217-225, as noted in the metadata. Other than that, the DOI should not point to the full "volume" but to Chamberlin's work, the only one in that number. Landing "view volume" page is page 173 at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/2784343

The identified part: It can be found at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/part/29836 The page interval is set to 175-216 but it should be 173-216, as per the (virtual) page index. The index is correct. The preceding work ends on page 172. The identified part correctly includes the beyond-page-interval plates and explanation of plates.

Reference collection: Publication Zoological series, https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/42255. This is a correct BHL "bibliography" element. Scanned by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Volume 28, no. 4, 1944, at reference collection: It can be found at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/21081. This is a correct BHL "item" element. Landing "view volume" page is page 173, again at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/2784343 and the identified part is again at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/part/29836.

Summary of problems:

  1. There is a BHL element which exists as both "bibliography" and "item".
  2. The "bibliography" representation (https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/3098) is incorrect and the "item" representation (https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/21081) is correct.
  3. The incorrect "bibliography" element bears the DOI, which needs to be transferred not to the "item" element but to the identified part (https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/part/29836).
  4. The identified part page interval needs to be corrected to 173-216.

Question: Have dual BHL bibliography/item element cases been reported before?

@Archilegt There are cases where what I would consider to be "articles" have been scanned as monographs (i.e., "titles") and assigned title-level DOIs, such as in this example. I have also defined an article within that title in BioStor, hence the BHL PartID. I'd be wary of using terms such as "incorrect", instead I think there are various ways to model these things, and BHL chose this particular route. @suwiding may be able to explain this modelling in more detail.

Regarding the page numbers, it's not obvious to me that the page range is 173-216. BHL says pages 173 and 174 exist, but that numbering doesn't appear on the scans. I guess this is inferred from looking at page numbering in the previous issue. I'd prefer to defer tackling this until I look at the whole journal.
