View Add Title: Dialog variants?
Closed this issue · 7 comments
Adding a title by hand can be done for a book, a database, a journal, a monograph and a series.
All of these different title types actual gets the same ui fields, but that can not be correct. So we need further specification what is needed in the type context, see page 39.
journal and serial are just different names for the same type - JournalInstance, book and monogaph too: BookInstance, database points to a DatabaseInstance. They all are subclasses of TitleInstance.
The UI fields you are referring to (Ausgaben, Bände) are actually properties of the TIPPCoverageStatement, not the TitleInstance itself. The dialog mixes up data from the TitleInstance and its three-way-relation to package and platform.
IMHO it's more sensible to create platform and package first and after the title is created, it can be linked with packages and platforms along with the specific coverage within a package and a platform.
The question is which input fields are relevant for what. We need different gui prototypes.
Further investigation into the old ui shows more input fields than the actual concepts offers. But it shows also the differences between the known title types. I have created a word document that shows the results and can be used to discuss this topic in detail.
Unfortunately, it's impossible to add comments to that document.
Simply download and edit.
Instead of typing around in a copy, I'd rather want to edit the real thing so you can read and react to the comments, as this is key to a discussion, don't you think?
Same problem: without an account, no editing.
But: as employee of HBZ, I can setup a sciebo-account on my own... hope this will enable me to work on that document... fingers crossed.
The document seems to be read-only. Probably a rather suboptimal way of starting a discussion - except you are Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, which you're not.
