Information on Service 'ARI Catalog of Catalogs'

This service gives all records pertaining to a given HDW number from katkat. It is used as the target of the catalog links in the records shipped to ADS .

For a list of all services and tables belonging to this service's resource, see Information on resource 'ARI Catalog of Catalogs'

Service Documentation

The digitized content was partially used as an input to the ARIGFH project; for those catalogs processed in this context, the objects contained are given in one of the tables arigfh.identified or arigfh.unidentified.

See also the ARIGFH resource info.

For the benefit for search engines (that will hopefully pick up the bibliographic information), here's a paged copy of katkat:

Overview

You can access this service using:

This service is not published. This can mean that it was deemed too unimportant, for internal use only, or is just a helper for a published service. Equally likely, however, it is under development, abandoned in development or otherwise unfinished. Exercise caution.

Other services provided on the underlying data include:

Input Fields

The following fields are available to provide input to the service (with some renderers, some of these fields may be unavailable):

Default Output Fields

The following fields are contained in the output by default. More fields may be available for selection; these would be given below in the VOTable output fields.

VOTable Output Fields

The following fields are available in VOTable output. The verbosity level is a number intended to represent the relative importance of the field on a scale of 1 to 30. The services take a VERB argument. A field is included in the output if their verbosity level is less or equal VERB*10.

Note i

As always in bibliography, nomenclature is at least difficult. For the catalogs, we have no less than for sets of identifiers tied together by katkat.

  • HDWL: This is more or less a running number of catalogs included
    in the catalog list. One HDWL major number roughly corresponds to a book or article, and every publication in katkat has an HDWL number. Some works contain multiple tables; in that case, the HDWL has the form major.minor; minor is a single digit.
  • Teleki: This is a reference into a catalog of catalogs that was maintained
    by G. Teleki (Published in Publ. Astron. Opservatorije Beogr.) and then for a short while continued at ARI. These are simply numbers, but not all publications listed here have a Teleki number. All catalogs that went into identification have one, though. Unfortunately, it is possible that there are multiple Teleki numbers to a single HDWL entry. In that case, the Teleki number included is just one of them.
  • File ID: This is a string containing slashes and parenteses, e.g.
    021/1(434). These refer to input files, where the number after the slash is a running number counting up for a given bibliographical source. Since a single source may give several tables, multiple file ids can refer to a single HDWL number. Since we are primarily interested in the digitized tables, the file id is arigfh.katkat's primary key.
  • teleki/catpv: These are strings of the form t<teleki>p<catpv>. They
    were used for catalogs that were crossmatched with the master catalog. File IDs can correspond to multiple teleki/catpv combinations, when a single input was split into multiple outputs that could be treated together. In katkat, the file has one of the teleki/catpv combinations only, again because we are mainly interested in the files. catpv is a two-digit code consisting of "part" and "version".
