Dear Christiaan (and others): I investigated at our library. It seems the most widespread subscription that most institutions have, i.e. the most likely default is now
Web of ScienceTM Core Collection (1900-present) This consists of these editions: * Science Citation Index Expanded (1900-present) * Social Sciences Citation Index (1900-present) * Arts & Humanities Citation Index (1975-present) * Conference Proceedings Citation Index- Science (1990-present) * Conference Proceedings Citation Index- Social Science & Humanities (1990-present) * Current Chemical Reactions (1985-present) (Includes Institut National de la Propriete Industrielle structure data back to 1840) * Index Chemicus (1993-present) Our library promised to find out whether it is actually possible to have also a subscription which would consist of only WOS, which would be cheaper, and would not have SSCI and other editions. They promised me an answer by mid next week. Then I learned that SciELO Citation Index (1997-present) costs nothing, since it accesses open access journals. It accesses "scholarly literature in sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities published in leading open access journals from Latin American, Portugal, Spain and South Africa". Therefore it is likely that any subscriber also has that data base available. Note, that our library has confirmed me that TR is changing these things all the time and that some further changes are in the doing for this summer. What exactly, however, they could not tell me, but data bases offers will change once more and perhaps some shuffling around will happen, perhaps similar to having now "WOS Core Collection" subsuming a lot, which was previously all offered as separate data bases. While the term Web Of Science continues to be emphasized by TR, notably via "WOS Core Collection", the URL of the service remains WOK, e.g. this URL (when selecting a data base): http://apps.webofknowledge.com/select_databases.do?highlighted_tab=select_databases&product=UA&SID=V2HBRSkThEvG8DvLq2x&last_prod=WOS&cacheurl=no See how this looks at my institution, i.e. ETH Zurich, in all details via this ftp offer: ftp://ftp.sysecol.ethz.ch/docs/afischli/for-BibDesk_developers/ I hope this is of some help. If you would need other information, let me know and I will try to learn more through my connections to our library people (who are very helpful, hands basically bound by TR).

But that may now not be so important, as we can search for whole databases now. But it may be good to have at least some default servers for editions, to have examples of the database syntax for editions. But I have no idea which one would be the most relevant, and perhaps having them all may be too many. At the least we should have one for WOS itself. Should we have the whole WOK as a default server? And other databases? Also, I think we can best make some overview of the available database IDs on the Wiki. Does anyone know a full overview from WOK? I find it very hard to find that information, it is spread around, and often incomplete (I have found various lists of databases and editions, as well as lists of IDs for them, but they never seem to match with each other.) BTW, the format for the operations is now that proposed by Colin, so citedby: citing: related: uid:. It should still be documented though.
