Overview
eBooks and DOIs at Springer — 2011 CrossRef Workshop 3
• eBook Totals
–1,500 book series
–71,000 book DOIs (includes reference works and some “Archive” titles)
–1,500,000 chapter DOIs (includes reference works and some “Archive” titles)
–Springer Book Archives will add about 65,000 more titles (back to the 1840s)
• eBook “Renditions” vs. DOIs for the “Work”
–Abstract HTML, Fulltext HTML, Fulltext PDF, ePub (forthcoming)
• Platform Targets for DOI Linking
–SpringerLink (most eBook DOIs)
–SpringerProtocols, SpringerMaterials, SpringerReference (selected book series)
Some Background Notes
eBooks and DOIs at Springer — 2011 CrossRef Workshop 4
• Chapter-wise production is more efficient in an XML workflow
• Decrease in production time, especially for contributed volumes
• Individual chapters are displayable AND searchable AND citable AND saleable
• Chapters can have outbound (from references) and inbound (cited-by) links
• ePub versions of books depend on chapter-wise content
Rationale for Assigning DOIs to Both Titles and Chapters
eBooks and DOIs at Springer — 2011 CrossRef Workshop 5
• Book Workflow DOIs
–Book DOI: Springer prefix 10.1007 + “/” + 13-digit ISBN
–Book DOI: Springer prefix 10.1007 + “/” + 10-digit ISBN (for older titles)
–Chapter DOI: book DOI + “_” + chapter sequence number
–Examples:
Book DOIs: 10.1007/978-94-007-2783-0 10.1007/3-540-54303-1
Chapter DOIs: 10.1007/978-94-007-2783-0_1 10.1007/3-540-54303-1_121
• Legacy DOIs
–Springer prefix 10.1007 + “/” + “BF” + “b” + unique counter
–Examples:
Book DOI: 10.1007/BFb0105392
Chapter DOI: 10.1007/BFb0105393

• DOI Registration
–Automatic Springer processing of bibliographic metadata
–Enables inbound linking from off-site to response pages on Springer sites
• Reference Linking
–Automatic Springer processing of citation metadata
–Enables outbound linking from references to response pages on other sites
• Cited-By Linking
–Automatic MetaPress processing of cited-by data from CrossRef
–Enables “dynamic” outbound linking from summary pages on SpringerLink
DOI Registration, Reference Linking, and Cited-By Linking
eBooks and DOIs at Springer — 2011 CrossRef Workshop 14
Reference Linking at the Chapter Level
eBooks and DOIs at Springer — 2011 CrossRef Workshop 15
Cited-By Linking at the Chapter (or Article) Level
eBooks and DOIs at Springer — 2011 CrossRef Workshop 16
• SpringerLink and other Springer platforms
• Amazon, Google, Apple
• Ebrary, NetLibrary, and other eBook vendors
• MARC records for OCLC
• CrossRef
Who Gets Springer DOIs?
eBooks and DOIs at Springer — 2011 CrossRef Workshop 17
• Use the CrossRef Admin interface for troubleshooting
–Retrieve DOIs, metadata, and submission data
–DOI history data
–DOI conflict data
• CrossRef log-file analysis
• Errata handling
–Automated process enables links between original and erratum
• Withdrawals and retractions
–Manual process
–Electronic rights and copyright violations
–Plagiarism detection
Troubleshooting/Corrections
eBooks and DOIs at Springer — 2011 CrossRef Workshop 18
• Submission Checker – structural and system checks of eBook packages
–File and directory naming – important for logging and conversions
–Completeness of eBook package, e.g., number of chapters
–Consistency of DOI vs. ISBN in XML
• Content Checker – various checks of incoming XML content
–Book and chapter DOIs use “valid” (known) prefixes
–Book print and electronic ISBNs are different
–Chapter last page is greater than or equal to first page
–Copyright year is required and “valid” (greater than “1800”)
• DIPChecker – system checks against CrossRef and Springer databases
–DOI queries return metadata for comparison
–Metadata queries return DOIs for comparison
Error Detection/Prevention via Various Checking Tools
eBooks and DOIs at Springer — 2011 CrossRef Workshop 19
• Know your content and automate whenever possible, preferably with XML
• DOIs point to the “work”, not to various renditions (PDF, HTML, ePub)
• Standardize production processes, whenever possible
• Chapter-wise processing has many benefits and few disadvantages
• DOIs can have meaning (internally), but REALLY they do not
• Use the new guidelines for displaying book AND chapter DOIs
• Reference linking and cited-by linking are extremely important and helpful
• An ounce of prevention (via checking routines) is worth a pound of cure
