Hmm, good point. I was already thinking about the new Matena, but I forgot for a moment that redrawing for certain series (such as Suske en Wiske) has also happened on a fairly large scale. Then it is indeed logical to assign an a, b, c, etc. to it.
If you therefore emphasize the drawings of the comic, it might also make sense to simply let the different V1s in other languages coexist, to be distinguished from each other by the title in Danish / German / Greek / etc. After all, it is always about the same story, with only a different (but substantively the same) text.
By the way, I wholeheartedly agree with you that in the end it's all about the stories and that it would be good if more were done with that on Catawiki. How high is that on the priority list now, René? ;)

Entering the WITH dashes ensures that you can do a good check later on the combination publisher number / publisher.
I use that a lot myself in the giga database of Stripschrift reviews and get a lot of errors out as a result.
Really gives administrators an extra tool.
Believe me: without dashes it is a knit number (and the possible LETTER X , of course, on the last postion of the ISBN -10's) that is not clear at a glance and makes control difficult It would be nice if the system internally removes all dashes and dots internally, checks whether it is a valid ISBN , and the ISBN declines if not.
Also saves.

No, now we always use "releases", unless the album has a series name with the word "series" in it.

I mean, for example, that Dossier Nachtwacht has been partially redesigned for the new albums.
That has also happened with other stories.
And think of the new graphic novel by Dick Matena, Paris hopping pup.
Is just Sartre and Hemmingway turned into a new mise-en-page.
So you should actually name those stories as V1a and V1b, for example.
So you actually need a different coding for other languages.
I would get really excited if something was done with story numbers, because for me it's all about the stories and not so much about the albums.

For the sake of uniformity, I converted a number of "promo issues" at Donald Duck weekly into "advertising issues".

If the dashes (or spaces) can indeed be filtered from a search or from the entered item, I have no real preference. For now I enter all ISBN numbers without dashes.

That sounds like a great addition! But do I understand from your message that I should not enter “[Publisher] releases”, but “[Publisher] series” in the Album series field?

And you are right. But what other deviating versions in Dutch are you thinking of exactly?
After all, I have the idea that if "the same stories are put in a different guise" it usually concerns translations. For example, rearranging pages to a different format is a lot less common.
It is of course possible to think about specific letter codes for each language, but that does not really seem necessary to me: by looking at the page of the album where the story is in, you already know which language it is (if your does not help). So you could just go through the entire alphabet, in order of appearance.
Anyway, as long as nothing is done with story numbers yet, this discussion can indeed be put on hold for a while ...

1) is not "advertising expenditure", but "advertising expenditure". (See: here)
I had noticed that too, but since dozens of “advertising expenses” had already been entered, I have only implemented that consistently with the few that I have adjusted :-) But Rene can probably adjust that in bulk?

Perhaps Experiment626 is right about the foreign language series, if only because my proposal may be technically difficult to realize. I am only afraid that with certain series you will still get long lists of album series.

I am also in favor of displaying ISBN numbers as a pure sequence of numbers. So without dashes. People are allowed to enter it with dashes or spaces though. That may make it easier for some people to enter it. We can then easily filter out those signs.
We still have to convert the existing ISBN numbers to pure series of numbers. And enable searching for ISBN in the search bar.
Arco: what do you think of this as a ISBN expert?

That's exactly the idea. I expect a lot from that because you then get extra information from other disciplines. I know pin collectors who know a lot more about the background, manufacturers and editions of many comic strip pins, such as the copper Tintin pins from the 1960s.

I just wanted to mention that it is
1) not "advertising expenditure", but "advertising expenditure". (See: here )
And
2) the description of a comic once contains the headings
“No. in album series: ”and
“ No addition: ”
So just like to be consistent
“No. in album series: ”and
“ No. addition: ”
(with period)
or
“No in album series:” and
“No addition:”
(without period)

After all, if you want more information about what the ISBN number means or how it is structured, you can still turn to wikipedia or this forum or…
Because I don't think that's the point here. It is about cataloging on the one hand and being able to retrieve data on the other.

This was indeed exactly my point, this way of noting is always possible. And it is very useful if you can search on isbn, after all, that is the idea behind an isbn number, it is unique so it is handy to search. If the fill-in box is defined so that it does not accept spaces or dashes, you can be sure that it is done uniformly.

Curiosa is indeed a different story. It's great that curiosities could be included under the other collection sections that the site houses. For example, we can (unconsciously) add something to another collection (for example pins), but a collector of pins can in turn (unconsciously) add something to the comics.

Hi Experiment626,
It's great that the elaboration matches your expectations.
Curiosa is a different story. We have also already prepared to set it up much better. Also with a subdivision as you sketch it.
But an important difference is that we want to properly set up curiosities over the main collection sections (comics, music, model cars, pins, puzzles, etc.). What is curiosities in one section is the main subject of the collection in the other section and vice versa.
A pin from Tintin is a curiosity for a comic collector, but the collector's item for a pin collector. A Citroën Tintin advertising booklet is a regular item in a comic collector's collection, but curiosities for a Citroën model car collector.
We only want to store all those items in the database once and we have found a good setup for that. Which was not that simple.
The nice thing is that if you, for example, enter a Tintin model car as curiosities at Tintin, that model car also returns as a regular item in the model car category. Specialists of such non-comic sections can therefore supplement detailed data from their own collection area. I expect a lot from that.
About your last comment: the type does not have to be entered for all items in a series. We are going to look at the types of albums in that series. So it must be entered for at least 1 album in the relevant series.
René

It seems logical to me that a search option on ISBN number will be added later. It is a unique song with which one specific album can be found very quickly.
Is it therefore only natural that the ISBN number should be entered in a uniform way in one sequence of numbers (ie without dashes or spaces)?
An example:
ISBN of first edition “de rode ridder” album 106:
90 02 14829 1 (printed like this on the back cover of the album)
90-02148-29 -1 (according to Arco's method)
9002148291 (in one sequence of numbers)
Which one to choose now? The latter option seems to me to be the most universal in any case, certainly when I look at just about all other book sites and library sites anywhere ...

Also the first thing that came to mind: the Tintin magazine ran for a long time without Tintin and also the Spirou magazine without Spirou. So Donald Duck Weekly is in my opinion really a separate series, just like the weekly magazines Tintin and Spirou.
In the example of Deblouw, it is not true that there would be a subdivision called “French series”, “German series”, etc. This type does not exist and in my view it is not necessary. For example, if the French edition being discussed is a promotional release, it will be listed under promotional releases wherever it should be. We then get:
Advertising expenses
- Promo postcards 2005
- Advertising expenses ANWB
- Advertising expenses GGD
- Advertising publications Kruidvat
- ...
- Advertising publications Auchan (French)
- Advertising publications Shop (German)
- ...
PS: these advertising publications in other languages are made up of my mind (I am not such a DD connoisseur).
In the meantime I had already figured out that the group would very likely be created using the category type. Why reinvent hot water, right? On the other hand, it may be a pity that a further subdivision is not immediately possible because of this. An example (for curiosities of the red knight for example):
Albums
Bundles
Curiosa
Advertising publications
...
Unfolded:
Albums
Bundles
Curiosa
+ puzzles
+ stickers
+ ...
Advertising expenses
...
and finally expanded further:
Albums
Bundles
Curiosa
- puzzles
& gt; Puzzles Puzzle Man
& gt; Puzzles Standard Publisher
& gt; ...
stickers
& gt; stickers (Esperanto)
& gt; stickers (Hungarian)
& gt; stickers Boomerang
& gt; stickers Credit bank
& gt; stickers Standaard Uitgeverij
& gt; ...
- ...
Advertising expenses
...
But for now maybe let's see how it all works out with one level (based on type), before adding the possibility of more levels. Perhaps one level turns out to be more than enough afterwards!
One more problem: the system can only work when the “type” is entered for each item and I have noticed that this is not the case for most items. (But that will change very quickly because of us administrators!)

In the Donald Duck weekly magazine, year 2004 is mentioned twice in , of which 1 in an illogical place. The 2004 volume of Donald Duck Extra is also illogical. So there is something strange about that number: )

Exactly. As little duplicate data as possible in our database.
In this context I am also thinking about the default entry of album series with “[Publisher] series” if the field album series is not filled in but Publisher is. That could be included in the explanation. If something specific is entered, such as “Blue series” or “Lombard Collection”, it will of course be included in the database.

Yep. That is a clear point for improvement. Inheriting stories to other albums. I put it on our ToDo list.

Agree.
If I see a series name in "Album series" I replace it too.
It actually applies to everything: enter as little duplicate information as possible. "
So also do not enter the name of the author in Series / Held. That field is not intended for that.

If they are identical stories (and they usually are), I don't see the point of that at the moment, Johan, but for the future…
But what is a and what is b? Etc…
You already need those letters - follow me - for deviating versions of the stories in Dutch.
And as long as something cannot be done with story numbers within Catawiki, I will certainly not invest time in it. Hihihi…
