Describing Serials in Dublin Core
The Open Language Archives Community (OLAC) metadata profile is built on Dublin Core and OAI. Essentially OLAC feeds (to the OLAC aggregator) are modified (or “enhanced”) OAI-PMH feeds. The profile was originally assumed to be describing archived language resources. However, there is a portion of the OLAC schema which allows the describer of a resource to indicate that the resource is a description of the resource rather than a language resource. This is useful for describing things like grammars and journal articles.
My question is: How might journal articles be best described?
There are at least three data providers pushing journal articles to OLAC:
- The University of Hawaiʻi. pushes all of the journal Language Documentation & Conservation to OLAC (but does not use ISO 639-3 codes in the records);
- The SIL Language & Culture Archive has records for many journal articles published by SIL and others;
- The GIAL/DIU library also has pushed records for journal articles or serials.
Records from these three entites can serve as a baseline for current practice. However, how should journal articles, or even whole journals be described in Dublin Core? To this end I have started looking at the literature discussing how journal articles are described in the library science journals. The following bibliography is a compliation of the works consulted so far.
