STM Seed Metadata

STM (Scientific/Technical/Medical) Seed Metadata for interoperable Meta-Code generation. Minimal distinguishing metadata for scholarly works identified by a DOI, populatable from any DOI via Crossref/DataCite content negotiation (CSL-JSON). See IEP-0002 for details on Meta-Code generation.

JSON Schema: stm.json

Example

{
  "$schema": "http://purl.org/iscc/schema/stm-0.7.0.json",
  "doi": "10.5555/example.2020.0001",
  "resource_type": "JournalArticle",
  "title": "On the Stability of Quasilinear Forms",
  "publisher": "Meridian Academic Press",
  "pubyear": 2020,
  "version_type": "VoR",
  "container_title": "Journal of Applied Analysis",
  "issn": "1234-5678"
}

Required fields: $schema, doi, resource_type, title, publisher, pubyear

Field Reference

@context

Name Type Default Definition
@context string-uri http://purl.org/iscc/context The JSON-LD Context URI for ISCC metadata.

@type

Name Type Default Definition
@type string STM The type of seed metadata.

$schema

Name Type Default Definition
$schema string-uri http://purl.org/iscc/schema/stm-0.7.0.json The JSON Schema URI for STM seed metadata.

doi

http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/doi

Name Type Default Definition
doi string none Digital Object Identifier of the work, lowercased, in bare prefix form (without the https://doi.org/ resolver prefix).

Example: 10.5555/example.2020.0001

resource_type

http://schema.org/additionalType

Name Type Default Definition
resource_type string none The kind of research output as a readable token. Tokens follow the DataCite resource-type vocabulary and are populated from the Crossref/DataCite work type (for example, journal-article maps to JournalArticle). Each token is mapped to a resolvable schema.org or FaBiO class IRI in the JSON-LD context (see x-iscc-enum-context). This is the work-kind axis; version_type is the orthogonal version-stage axis.

Example: JournalArticle

title

http://schema.org/name

Name Type Default Definition
title string none The primary title of the work.

Example: On the Stability of Quasilinear Forms

publisher

http://schema.org/publisher

Name Type Default Definition
publisher string none Name of the publishing entity.

Example: Meridian Academic Press

pubyear

http://schema.org/datePublished

Name Type Default Definition
pubyear integer none Year of publication. Crossref guarantees year-level precision only; using an integer avoids the false precision of a full date.

Example: 2020

version_type

http://purl.org/iscc/terms/#version_type

Name Type Default Definition
version_type string none Manifestation version using the NISO JAV (RP-8-2008) vocabulary. Publisher-specific version taxonomies are mapped into these values. Lets a Version-of-Record and an Accepted-Manuscript of the same work produce different Meta-Codes while a shared work-level doi links them.

Example: VoR

container_title

http://prismstandard.org/namespaces/basic/2.0/publicationName

Name Type Default Definition
container_title string none Title of the serial or collection the work is part of (journal, proceedings, book). Not guaranteed for standalone works.

Example: Journal of Applied Analysis

issn

http://schema.org/issn

Name Type Default Definition
issn string none ISSN of the container serial. Only present for serial publications.

Example: 1234-5678
