Re: [Dspace-tech] journal volumes, issues, article and the introductory text metadata
This is sometimes used to display an HTML summary for the journal. There is a size limit (at least in DSpace 1.4, it is 512 characters). On Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 9:45 PM, Mark H.

Why isn't it sufficient to tag each item (article) with the metadata for that item? -- Mark H.

[Dspace-tech] journal volumes, issues, article and the introductory text metadata
I am planning to use model journals, volumes, issues and articles by having a journal as a collection and all the articles as items within that collection. I plan to use the introductory text metadata in a collection to hold the volume, issue, article ordering id, year, month and page range for each article. The problem I worried about is this: will the intro text metadata field be big enough. I will have lots of back files over decades for each journal. So a journal with 50 years, say, and an issue per month with around 20 articles per issue, will require 12000 metadata 'rows' for this field. That's a lorra lorra data to put in one field! Do people think this is doable? What limit, if any, is there for this field? -- Regards, Andrew M. http://www.andrewpetermarlow.co.uk -- ___ DSpace-tech mailing list DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech
