Frequently Asked Questions

One of the conditions for submitting a doctoral thesis to National Diet Library is ‘author flag (textversion) is ETD’; however, JPCOAR schema does not seem to have ‘textversion’.

In JPCOAR schema, there is no ‘author flag (textversion)’. How does it distinguish the full-text, yoyaku (要約) and yoshi (要旨) of a doctoral thesis?

I would like to enter items that are not included in JPCOAR schema such as a resource identifier and an author ID unique to my university. How can I do that?

Where can I find information about migrating from junii2 format and about IRDB?

I understand that ‘5. Access Rights ’ has to be ‘embargoed access’ if contents have an embargo. Do I have to change this value to ‘open access’ after the embargo period has expired?

When I describe an item in metadata, should I simply transcribe it as it is written in a material?

Can I describe ‘jyo (上)’, ‘ge (下)’ or ‘zokango (増刊号)’ for ‘kan (巻: volume)’ or ‘go (号: issue)’?

I would like to describe irregular volume/issue titles such as ‘xx anniversary issue (○○記念号)’ or ‘xx special issue (○○特集号)’ but I cannot find an item like ‘issue.alternative’. Where should I describe them?
