Periodical
Status: Abandoned in favour of Article proposal (per 2013-12-11 meeting)
Use Cases
- The appropriate copy use case - This use case mimics the data elements of OpenURL
- The individual article on a web page
- This is satisfied by Article Example 2
- A group of individual articles on a web page (e.g. someone's bibliography). (As individual articles it is not clear that more than one will be recognized by search engines (as reported on public-vocabs, the search engines will only pick up one "thing" from each page). To make this a single thing, it may be necessary to create a bibliography type, with article members.) An example from Harvard's faculty system. Source uses COinS. Other examples output from Mendeley and Zotero are on the examples page.
- The display of an issue of a journal with its table of contents. This may be seen as a single item, similar to a TVseries with episodes.
- This is satisfied by Issuance Example 1
- An issue of a periodical that is available for loan from a library. This would use the Holdings-as-Offers pattern to decorate the issue.
Overview
This is a relatively small proposal enable periodicals such as magazines or scholarly journals to publish core data about their issues and articles.
The proposal has been informed by the Bibliographic Ontology design for relationships between periodicals, issues, and articles.
Two new types--Periodical and PeriodicalIssue--support this proposal, each of which is a subclass of CreativeWork with a small set of new properties.
Three new properties on Article support relationships to the Periodical and PeriodicalIssue classes, as well as a new property for describing the pagination of the article within a given issue.
Thing > CreativeWork > Periodical
A publication that consists of multiple issues, such as a magazine, scholarly journal, or newspaper.

Add a new property "pagination" to identify the pages for the article. This is frequently required by citations. Note: candidate for CreativeWork, as chapters of books and other works would also benefit from this property.
Add a new property "periodical" to identify the Periodical in which the article was published. This enables schema.org publishers to either link to the periodical of choice, or to inline the Periodical.

|---|---|---|
| pagination | Text | The range or number of pages over which a work is published (for example, "120" or "533-599"). |
