Book management 2013/Benchmark
There are a number of other, similar interfaces used for organizing books on external sites. There are also on-wiki and external resources that may be helpful in other parts of this project.
Book organization
[edit]
The Booktype software (demo) has a very nice interface for organizing a book.
- "New chapter," "new section," and "import chapter" buttons
- Chapters and sections (different levels) are visually distinct by color
- Chapters or sections can be moved by dragging the rectangles
- "Edit" and "view" links from each chapter
- Chapters and sections can be empty
- Chapter completion status is displayed on the left side ("new," "needs content," "completed," "to be proofed")
- Exportable as "book," "ebook" (Kindle, iPad, general), "onscreen PDF," or ODT
- In view mode, the table of contents stays in a column on the left side, with the chapter displayed on the right. This is used in lieu of navbars.
Metadata
[edit]There are many metadata collection templates and forms that can be used to decide what types of data should be collected:
- English Wikisource's Template:Book
- English Wikisource's index pages
- English Wikidata's books task force properties
- schema.org's book schema
