What is a Serial Work?

Short description

A Serial Work comprises objects that are, or have been planned, to be produced in sequences of objects. They often have common features (such as similar styling elements).

Extended description

A Serial Work comprises objects that are, or have been, planned to result in sequences of intellectual or artistic expressions with common features.

A Serial Work may for example be a newspaper (published daily, monthly or annually, etc.), a magazine (scientific publication, mainstream or kid press, etc.), or a series (a film or book saga, TV series or TV show, etc.).

A serial work is composed of different parts, such as individual books of a fantasy saga (e.g. "Harry Potter"), or a specific issue of a newspaper. These parts are recorded as source objects and linked to the Serial Work.

Important: This class is still under construction. Important features are missing to use it productively. Please contact us in case you would like to use it.

Hint: You can simply add Type according to your research question, such as "Newspaper", "Magazine", "Edition's collection", "series" , etc. by using the module.

Examples of types of Serial Work

Examples of type of a Serial Work include:

  • Newspaper : A set of large printed sheets of paper containing news, articles, advertisements, etc. and published every day or every week.

  • Magazine : A type of large thin book with a paper cover that you can buy every week or month, containing articles, photographs, etc., often on a particular topic.

  • Scientific Review / Journal : A magazine that deals with a particular subject or profession that presents a review of knowledge at a given time.

  • Series : A set of books or any serially produced item published by the same company that deal with the same subject (set of films, TV series etc.).

Add a Serial Work

Hint: If you need inform about specific characteristics of your Serial Work (like its texture or materiality), check whether an appropriate exists and otherwise contact the Geovistory team to help you out.
