How to add ISSN metadata to a web page
- alexchamberlain 5y agoShould each blog post be assigned an issue number as to get an unique ID?
- iguessthislldo 5y agoIt looks like the ISSN would be for the entire blog.
- CaliforniaKarl 5y agoYup! Just like how you can identify a specific point in a book using ISBN, chapter/section, and page; you identify a specific point in a serial publication using ISSN, the volume/number of the issue, and page. The ISBN and ISSN serve the purpose of representing the author, title, and publisher. (And in books, also represents the specific edition.)
- traceroute66 5y agoI thought ISSN was yesterday's thing and all the cool kids used DOI these days ?
- edent 5y agoIf you know of a way to automate minting a DOI on WordPress - please let me know. I'd be keen to experiment.
- CaliforniaKarl 5y agoPossibly https://wordpress.org/plugins/doi-creator/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/doi-creator/, but you’ll need to give the code a review before using it, just to be safe.
- nanna 5y agoISSNs identify the publisher (edit: the publication). DOIs identify items of content.
- pigsonthewing 5y agoThe publication, not the publisher.
- nanna 5y agoAh yes, that's true.
- afandian 5y agoDOIs are assigned to journals too. It's not entirely consistent though, and journal DOIs can overlap with ISSNs.
- forgotmypw17 5y agoI think the cool kids are using SHA hashes and PGP signatures ))

- femto 5y agoDon't forget that adding an ISSN comes with legal deposit obligations. https://www.bl.uk/help/how-to-deposit-your-digital-publications# https://www.bl.uk/help/how-to-deposit-your-digital-publicati...
- afandian 5y agoAdding a DOI comes with obligations too. A persistent identifier is persistent largely because of shared obligations. https://www.crossref.org/documentation/metadata-stewardship/understanding-your-member-obligations/ https://www.crossref.org/documentation/metadata-stewardship/...
- bennyp101 5y agoThat seems pretty easy for a blog: "If you publish material on the open web, we should be able to collect this by web archiving. Where a publication is made available online and protected by password or login facility, the Library can request access to archive those materials by giving 1 month’s written notice." So I guess you would just contact and say "please start archiving my site"?
