Package: referencer Version: 1.0.2-1 Severity: normal Referencer relies on citation information from crossref.org, but (for at least some journals) this provides seriously incomplete information. Consider the following crossref.org query result:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?> <crossref_result version="2.0" xmlns="http://www.crossref.org/qrschema/2.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.crossref.org/qrschema/2.0 http://www.crossref.org/qrschema/crossref_query_output2.0.xsd";> <query_result> <head> <email_address>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</email_address> <doi_batch_id>w001</doi_batch_id> </head> <body> <query key="555-555" status="resolved"> <doi type="journal_article">10.1016/j.cognition.2004.06.002</doi> <issn type="print">00100277</issn> <journal_title>Cognition</journal_title> <author>ZWAAN</author> <volume>94</volume> <issue>2</issue> <first_page>B35</first_page> <year>2004</year> <publication_type>full_text</publication_type> <article_title>Lateralization of object-shape information in semantic processing</article_title> </query> </body> </query_result> </crossref_result> This is a two-author article (as you may confirm by looking at http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2004.06.002) but crossref.org has only provided the last name of the first author. I need information on all authors in my bibliographies, so I am going to have to fill them in by hand, which makes referencer considerably less useful for me. Note that it has also failed to provide complete page information (there is a first_page tag but no last_page tag). Again, I need this, and will have to fill it in by hand :( Referencer should therefore not rely on crossref.org as its sole source of metadata given DOIs. In fact, having looked at that site a bit I am not sure it should be used at all; it does not inspire trust. For the above example, accurate information is available in RIS format from sciencedirect.com, which is where you end up if you follow the above dx.doi.org URL - yeah, Referencer would have to be taught how to chase from the redirect to the citation download, for N different academic publishers' websites, but it would be accurate! -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages referencer depends on: ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.19-3 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.18.0-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.18.0-2 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.18.0-5 The Bonobo UI library ii libboost-regex1.33.1 1.33.1-10 regular expression library for C++ ii libc6 2.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.6-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libgcc1 1:4.1.2-6 GCC support library ii libgconf2-4 2.18.0.1-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgconfmm-2.6-1c2 2.14.2-1 C++ wrappers for GConf (shared lib ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.0-4 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglademm-2.4-1c2a 2.6.2-2 C++ wrappers for libglade2 (shared ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.12-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libglibmm-2.4-1c2a 2.12.7-1 C++ wrapper for the GLib toolkit ( ii libgnome-keyring0 0.8.1-2 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome-vfsmm-2.6-1c2a 2.14.0-1 C++ wrappers for GnomeVFS (shared ii libgnome2-0 2.18.0-4 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.14.0-2 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomecanvasmm-2.6-1c2a 2.14.0-1 C++ wrappers for libgnomecanvas2 ( ii libgnomemm-2.6-1c2 2.14.0-1 C++ wrappers for libgnome (shared ii libgnomeui-0 2.18.1-2 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomeuimm-2.6-1c2a 2.14.0-1 C++ wrappers for libgnomeui (share ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.18.1-2 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.10.12-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a 1:2.8.8-1 C++ wrappers for GTK+ 2.4 (shared ii libice6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii liborbit2 1:2.14.7-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.16.4-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpoppler0c2 0.4.5-5.1 PDF rendering library ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2a 2.0.17-2 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libsm6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.1.2-6 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.8-2 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.28.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.1-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra referencer recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
