Hi Andrew!
For me, the concept of Journal is best represented by DSpace "Collection".
Your problem is a sorting problem (how to show a given result sorted by
issues). This what it takes and not complex modeling and outside tools
(IMHO).
I provided a patch in the past to sort by publishing date (for DSpace
1.4) and I started a discussion about sort parameterization. Discussion
which did not gather a lot of interest.
If you somehow have a field (dc.identifier.citation) which can represent
the order of articles (for instance Vol/No/Page in standardized columns
like "Vol.32 No.05 p.023", then my patch should do the job. The main
thing is to have an Untokenized Lucene index for the sort field.
Good luck!
Christophe

You may want to look at a Journal collection we've done.
It doesn't completely address the problem you're asking about but
is in the same sphere, and i second what Mark said, it is likely
best to not use communities and collections in that manor.
http://repositories.tdl.org/tdl/handle/2249.1/5065
Here is the theme used to generate that view is located here:
http://repositories.tdl.org/tdl/themes/TDL/Periodicals/sitemap.xmap
http://repositories.tdl.org/tdl/themes/TDL/Periodicals/Periodicals.xsl
I have had a more detailed look now and I must admit, this is
fantastic. This is exactly what I want to do.
The trick we used is to add xml describing journal issues in the
metadata of the collection, then the theme knows to interpret this
small bit of data to build a browsable list of journal issues.
Each of those provide links to a masked search page for individual
articles, plus a list to an item that contains the full pdf for
the journal.
I was hoping that I could use a theme just to customize the LAF, but
the handling of societies, journals, issues and articles is crucial to
what I am trying to do. So it looks like your theme approach is the
best way to do that. I don't suppose you would hand over a copy of
theme? Maybe, put it into the DSpace source as an additional theme,
along with Classic, Reference, Kubric, etc?
Here is the current bit of XML on the collection:
<issues xmlns:tdl="http://www.tdl.org/NS/tdl"
xmlns="http://www.tdl.org/NS/tdl">
<issue vol="66" num="3&4" year="2008" name=""
handle="2249.1/5643"/>
<issue vol="66" num="1&2" year="2008" name=""
handle="2249.1/5546"/>
<issue vol="65" num="3&4" year="2007" name=""
handle="2249.1/5496"/>
<issue vol="65" num="1&2" year="2007" name=""
handle="2249.1/5438"/>
<issue vol="64" num="3&4" year="2006" name=""

<issue vol="64" num="1&2" year="2006" name=""
handle="2249.1/5440"/>
<issue vol="63" num="3&4" year="2005" name=""

<issue vol="61" num="3&4" year="2003" name=""
