Metadata for type, title, date, language, rights #121
Comments
Hi @zuphilip RASH allows one to use any kind of meta element - thus it would be possible to specify the type (and the other properties) of the paper by means of the usual adoption of DC as usual in HTML. However, these tags are not mandatory by the RASH specification as it is for authors, even if they can be used. However, thanks for the suggestion, since we are testing the new version of RAJE (please see the DocEng article for a proper introduction), and it would be good to add automatically some of these information if possible (cc @gspinaci). About the dc:title thing: in general, I (and RASH, in general) would avoid to replicate the same information twice in the same article. Is there any particular reason for using dc:title in addition to the tag "title"? |
Thank you for the explanation. Yes, it would be nice to have some more bibliographic metadata automatically added. If it helps, I can also help testing this.
Well, from my perspective to look at a lot of websites, the title tag can contain more information than simply the title. This tag is used to show a title in for the browser tabs. For example the site or host is sometimes added to the title tag as well, e.g. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/26/weekinreview/weapons-of-mass-distraction.html <title>Weapons of Mass Distraction - The New York Times</title> Thus, this is usually not a very reliable place to look for good data about the title of the article. Moreover, you can see in the New York Times example that they add the same information multiple times in the metatags, which I guess helped them also for search machine optimization or social media optimization. |
I looked at the publication OpenCitations: enabling the FAIR use of open citation data and imported it into Zotero, which basically tries to interpret the metadata here:
Zotero saves this as:
The authors looks fine and the title is maybe extrapolated from the information in
<title>
. However, some essential information is missing.First, the type is website because this is just the default fallback of Zotero, but you could add something like
dc:type
and choose for example anything Zotero can recognize. Second for the title you could also usedc:title
in addition. Third, the publication data could be saved indc:date
. Moreover, you can usedc:language
anddc:rights
for the corresponding information.There could be other possibilities besides Dublin Core to save the metadata in this page. This is just one possible suggestion how to do it.
