GoKB Canonical Package Format

Goal of this format

To be an expressive, canonical, reproducible, testable package exchange format. To be deterministic To support the system level needs of the electronic resource management community

Rules Contents MUST be strictly ordered by publication.title to support matching, diffing and processing Each component must have at least one unique identifier Package - Probably opaque Title - ISSN, eISSN, ISBN, DOI, ... Platform - Probably a URI, others

{
  package : {
    identifiers : [
      { namespace:'', value:'', checksum:'' },
    ]
  },
  contents:[
    {
      publication:{
        type:'Journal'
        title:'xxx',
        identifiers:[
          { namespace:'issn', value:'1234-5678', checksum:'' },
          { namespace:'issn', value:'', checksum:'' },
          { namespace:'eissn', value:'', checksum:'' },
        ]
      }
      platform:{
      }
      coverage:[
        {},
      ]
    }

  ]
}
