Proposal for Periodicals, Articles and Multi-volume Works
Description
This proposal is intended to enable basic description of Articles within issues and/or volumes of periodicals of most types - Scholarly journals, magazines, comics, etc. The proposal also will enable the description of multi-volume works (e.g. the three volumes that make up
Lord of the Rings
).
As a basic proposal it does not address the full description of periodicals as stand-alone entities, and avoids any explicit statement of hierarchy in the parts that make up a periodical.
It proposes three new Types:
Periodical
PublicationVolume
PublicationIssue
, and added properties for two existent Types:
Article
CreativeWork
The discussions behind these proposals was informed from several sources with the
Bibliographic Ontology
(bibo) deserving specific mention.
You can view a live version of this vocabulary proposal integrated into the latest version of schema.org (2014-05-19) at
New Type: Periodical
A publication in any medium issued in successive parts bearing numerical or chronological designations and intended, such as a magazine, scholarly journal, or newspaper to continue indefinitely.

bibo
schema:issueNumber -> bibo:issue
schema:isbn -> bibo:isbn
schema:issn -> bibo:issn, bibo:eissn
schema:pageStart -> bibo:pageStart
schema:pageEnd -> bibo:pageEnd
schema:pagination -> bibo:pages
schema:Periodical -> bibo:Periodical
schema:PublicationIssue -> bibo:Issue (volume property excepted)
schema:volumeNumber -> bibo:volume

Description:
strong
The library catalog as a catalog of works
was an infectious idea, which together with research led to
reconceptualization in the form of the FRBR conceptual model. Two
categories of lacunae emerge—the expression entity, and gaps in the
model such as aggregates and dynamic documents. Evidence needed to
extend the FRBR model is available in contemporary research on
instantiation. The challenge for the bibliographic community is to
begin to think of FRBR as a form of knowledge organization system,
adding a final dimension to classification. The articles in the present
special issue offer a compendium of the promise of the FRBR
model.
