You are right, the 129 page spec of Z39.88 only deals with these in examples, and IIRC does not even decent pointers to the following: There are some "Core Metadata formats" registered under http://alcme.oclc.org/openurl/servlet/OAIHandler?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&set=Core:Metadata+Formats notably info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:book and info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal : < http://www.openurl.info/registry/docs/mtx/info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:book >, < http://www.openurl.info/registry/docs/mtx/info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal >. As for the semantics of the fields defined there, the "description" is certainly not strictly defined in any sense but you can already see that there is potential for confusion and especially no canonical way (no way at all?) to achieve satisfying descriptions for several kinds of non-mainstream objects: * scholarly articles originally published online (when a "journal context" cannot be constructed) * articles in books which are not by coincidence conference proceedings ... ciao Thomas Berger -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Cygwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iJwEAQECAAYFAkvamhkACgkQYhMlmJ6W47P/vQP/XfExoDcfEuMGIgFUw4z4GOiM LhFsKPkVR7wHKDgB+mEF+xnDJoP549Y31YEYKc5lMMz5fVMONUDwwiavVL6IdDvL EU2jDOQO+WnLiw1XENYoTiuEP6bxyF+gojlBlEN7De1OlCJ97gqitwz6owmTxvp0 BfjBcj4X8//5KVMD0rw= =1a4i -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
