Series IDs
Since basic functionalities for series might soon be implemented, I think, we should discuss whether series IDs should be included in our metadata and which ones specifically.
Here are some IDs that we have, that can also be used for series:
-
ISBNs Often book series have ISBNs for themselves. In such case, book has two ISBNs printed out: one for the series and the other one for the specific volume
-
Wikisource They have pages for multiple volume works and periodicals like newspaper. See page for The New York Times https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times
-
Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/series/66175-the-lord-of-the-rings
Some more Series identifiers:
- BookBrainz
- MusicBrainz
- VIAF (e.g., https://viaf.org/viaf/32162720964061090600/)
- LibraryThing (e.g., https://www.librarything.com/nseries/82708/Emergent-Strategy)
- StoryGraph (e.g., https://app.thestorygraph.com/series/908868)
- Google Play (e.g., https://play.google.com/store/books/series?id=NUH3GgAAABDDWM)
(might add more to this comment later if I feel like going more digging)
