KMLM List

[Nadia <nadia@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Oliver.

Please mind my confusion here.

I am still wondering though why it looks different to the BR1 Counter version.  For example, if it is okay to use multiple types if the need be, for example ft_html and ft_pdf, then why the online version looks different in the sense that it is only reporting on 1 metric type across multiple months.  Because If I were to use 2  metric types across many months, how would I present this ?

Further, any ideas why for example ISSN is listed in the Counter version, whereas Appendix A only lists ISBN but not ISSN.

Thanks

Nadia

Subject: [sushidevelopers] Question about Book Report BR1 request metric

 

Dear All,

I am going through Appendix A 'Summary of Data Element Usage by Report' of the Counter-Sushi document (Approved August 2012) which specifies the following data elements for BR1:

IdentifierType            MetticType
--------------            ------------
Online_ISBN             ft_ps
Print_ISBN                ft_pdf
DOI                           ft_html
Proprietary                 ft_total


When comparing this to the BR1 example in the 'Counter Code of Practice for e-Resources: Release 4' document published April 2012, I see that only the 'ft_total' metric type is used which means the other metric types listed above ft_ps, ft_html and ft_pdf are not used.

Likewise, othe identifier Online_ISSN is used, whereas it is not listed above in the list of IdentifierTypes.

My question is, how should I map the data elements in Appendix A for each report to the online version example in Counter Code of Practice for e-Resources: Release 4' document published April 2012?

Can I pick up only the metric type from Appendix A table that is relevant to our customers content, or should I choose all the metric types listed. If the later option, how does this map to the online version as I do not see all the metric types used.

Thanks for your help.

Nadia
