Data model objects and inter-object relations

Below, the fourth draft of the data model.

The data model loosely follows the structure of the original publication. As such it is divided into a number of volumes (based on period).

Each Volume is divided as

• Region
• Town
• Paper
• Page
• .png

These divisions loosely follow those of the original publication.

• Each Page in the original publication has been digitalized as a .png file, found in the bit storage, and associated with a page object. These must be connected to each the former and the previous page.

• Each Paper has an entry covering one or more pages and refers to the first page of the entry.

• The Region object references a few pages containing information on the specific area during the relevant period. The end-users should see the word "Gruppering" rather than "Region", as this level of information in the structure of the physical books is used for geographical regions as well as other ways of grouping.

• Similarly each Volume contains a few pages dealing with subject relevant to newspaper publication on a national basis.
