public class BibData

extends java.lang.Object

This class represents an instance of a work. The primary job of this class is to keep trans of work identification elements, such as its DOI, synthetic URN, and most importantly, its "key" in the Creation database, which should have a unique record for each work encountered. Different BibData object instances may well point to the same Creation record. Methods in this class are mainly construct, reconstruct, get and put.

Field Summary

private Creation	creationPointer
private static boolean	DEBUG

Constructor Summary

BibData(java.lang.String DOI, java.lang.String URN)
constructor Creations can be made with or without its URN initialized It is possible to set the URN later on.

Constructor Detail

BibData

public BibData(java.lang.String DOI,
               java.lang.String URN)
        throws SurrogateException

constructor Creations can be made with or without its URN initialized It is possible to set the URN later on. So, URN can be null. Invariant: DOI != null because DOI points to where the repository is.

Parameters:

The - String which is the DOI for this article. May be our own invention, but may not be null.

An - optional string containing the synthetic urn or partial urns for a work. If a urn is provided, then there must be a record in the database at that key. If the urn is null, then a dummy creation is instantiated, to be filled in as the document is parsed.

Throws:

SurrogateException -

Method Detail

getURN

public java.lang.String getURN()

getURN - return the URN of the work associated with this surrogate

getCreation

public Creation getCreation()

getCreation - table lookup to find URL and BibData

cook

public void cook(java.lang.String mf)

cook - document has been parsed, and local text fragments are here

Parameters:

- - the String containing the local metadata. Cook it. Upon return, the Author database will have been updated by this items authors, and the creation database by the work in creationPointer and this BibData object *will* have a URN.

toXML

public java.lang.String toXML(java.lang.String pad)

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

save

protected void save(java.lang.String doi)

save - called by Surrogate to update CreationDatabase with a fileIndex record.

dump

public java.lang.String dump()
