Deluge
Integral, Additional, Related
whatever. Who cares anyway?
You should! Designation has
consequences:
 Peer review
 Editing; Markup; Discoverability / search
 Presentation / display
 Hosting; Preservation / longevity
 Migration/conversion
 Repurposing / usability
False pretenses: Integral as if Additional
Scope
TWG Charge
 Metadata, persistent identifiers, granularity
 Citing, linking to and from, references within
 Archiving, preservation, migration
 Packaging, exchange, delivery
 Accessibility
Metadata: Basics
 Article being supplemented (main article)
 Function: integral, additional, related (?)
 Descriptive metadata
 IDs, contributors, title, language, summary, subject
descriptors, rights/permissions, funding, accessibility, etc.
 Physical metadata
 File name, format, size, date, mimetype/subtype, created
with, application requirements, validity check, ext. link, etc.
Metadata: Complexities
 Heterogeneity: a single supplemental ZIP, TAR, or PDF may
contain multiple files. Some may be Integral; others, Additional.
 Content granularity: assign metadata to supplemental material
as a whole? Individual objects? Object groups? All?
 Relationship granularity: identify relationship to the article as a
whole or to its individual components (to Table 4, to Fig. 7)?
 Equivalency relationship: a single chemical structure or a
protein may have multiple representations, e.g., a table, a
figure, and an interactive application. One may be primary;
each may have different preservation requirements.
