System (for computerProgram) #3

Closed rmzelle closed 13 years ago

rmzelle commented 13 years ago

The computerProgram type has a "System" (system) field, but it is unmapped, while some styles require this information, e.g. (highlighted in bold):

Blizzard Entertainment. 2004. World of Warcraft. Blizzard Entertainment (Windows and Mac OS X). http://www.wow-europe.com

This field should be mapped to medium in CSL, per discussion below.

Not sure about that mapping. I would think genre is more appropriate for things like "computer game" or whatever? Maybe "medium"?

rmzelle commented 13 years ago

I was thinking "medium" would be more related to the method of delivery ("CD", "DVD", "Steam", etc.).

avram commented 13 years ago

Since the medium of delivery really shouldn't matter, and we don't have evidence of its use in citation, I agree with Bruce that system --> medium makes sense.

avram commented 13 years ago

Proposed mapping updated in issue description.

Closing, since it's in the trunk. Looking forward to seeing this in 3.0 final!
