Introduction

Basic information is available on the database website in the About section.

Technical implementation

The general database model is described in a separate document.

Individual records in the DL FF MU are stored as Drupal Nodes and grouped by type into Content types. The database contains the following Content types: Serial, Volume, Issue, Article, Book series, Book, Chapter, Author, Author ID.

Files (PDF documents, images, e-books, audio attachments) are stored as Media entities in the repository. Media entities are then attached to individual Nodes.

URIs of individual objects: https://digilib.phil.muni.cz/en/node/[id]
