Notes

[edit]

How GScholar finds articles and ingests their metadata

  • Similar to Dublin Core, but with scholarly publication-specific metadata, e.g. volume/issue/page number
  • Sits within article
  • <meta proprty="citation_*"> tags
    • Some scope for finding those tags if placed in odd location within page
    • Order irrelevant except for author tags
    • [action item Thomas] check mediawiki extensions for adding metadata tags to html
  • Additional backup, because WJ articles have /XML wikidata page, that can be also checked
    • [action item Thomas] check author ordering in XML

GScholar lookuplinks for citation metadata

  • Can use reference plaintext in url
  • Highlights where a PDF is available to make easier to find open version
  • Can simply be added at end of citations

Stardit indexation

  • Could conceivably have citation_stardit_url metadata item for link to the report
  • Could allow standard machine-readable way to find the extended stardit data
  • [action item Jack] forward stardit beta version summary

For followup discussion and consideration:

  • GScholar officially only indexes research, not reference material (which WP articles fall under)
    • E.g. specifically does not index WP pages
  • Some specialist encyclopedias are indexed, but are all specified exceptions
  • Typically because they are specialised, scholarly, cited
  • Therefore have to consider whether WJ articles adapted from WP pages get indexed
