Mandatory elements
| Publication | CERIF representation | Guidelines | ENRESSH |
|---|---|---|---|
| One publication equals one record, to which other information is related to. | XML element Publication | Other elements are children to this element, as such a mandatory (1) | mandatory (1) |
Justification: As it's the base element for all the other elements it should be mandatory to provide.
Disclaimer: High variation on source systems in terms of publication inclusion criteria, e.g. are non-scholarly publications included as well (professional and general/popular books, articles, reports etc.) or are conference presentations or short abstracts included. To some extent this can be traced by the type -element and what kind of types are included. Scope of what is actually recorded as a publication could be provided by for example provenance information in about element or otherwise controlled/validated in metadata exchange. Limitations to inclusion criteria are not recommended though, as comparability and analysis of records are more dependent on e.g. publication types to be consistent.
| Internal identifier | CERIF representation | Guidelines | ENRESSH |
|---|---|---|---|
The organization's own ID for the publication. | XML attribute id | mandatory (1) | mandatory (1) |
Justification: For technical purposes e.g. harvesting and updating the record, a unique id is needed for the metadata to be traceable.
Disclaimer: None?
| Publication type | CERIF representation | Guidelines | ENRESSH |
|---|---|---|---|
Publication type according to the publication type classification. | XML element Type from namespace https://www.openaire.eu/cerif-profile/vocab/COAR_Publication_Types | mandatory (1) | mandatory (1) |
Justification: Metadata should be provided on the publication type to have at least some structure and information on the publications. This allows the data to be comparable and used as a basis for analysis and research.
Disclaimer: Source systems almost never have the exact same semantics / classifications for publication types e.g. what is included in a review article type might differ based on the source system definition. Mapping publication types from data model to another always leads to loss of information. Three different approaches can be had on the mapping (1) try to achieve the most accurate possible mapping between data models (2) use the so called lowest denominator of publication types; a limited set of broad categories (3) use lowest denominator publication types, but include refinements where possible and use the broad categories externally.
| Publication title | CERIF representation | Guidelines | ENRESSH |
|---|---|---|---|
Publication title as given in the article or the book. If necessary, the title of a foreign-language publication may be transliterated. | XML element Title as a multilingual string | optional, possibly multiple (0..*) | at least one mandatory, possibly multiple (1..*) |
Justification: In terms of proper identification of the publication, a publication title should be provided. Although in theory, this could be enriched from elsewhere, but for accurate information it should be provided from the source systems to get title in the original publishing language. Data exchange can be done using multilingual strings to provide information on alternative languages as well.
Disclaimer: As publication title is provided in a free form text string, there is no guarantee that the title would match either the original publication title or title provided in other databases for the same publication.

|---|---|---|---|
The year in which the publication was published for the first time as a version with full bibliographic information. | XML element | optional (0..1) | mandatory (1) |
