Upgrade StorageNew document type: "Technical Standard"
Hello!
Thank you for developing and distributing Zotero: it's a fantastic tool!
The descriptors of a "Technical Standard" are usually:
- the standard reference number. Sometimes standards have several parts (also standards) and this reference number might be something like "1991-1-3", which means "Standard number 1991, part 1-3";
- the title. Sometimes made by combination of the several parts (eg, "Eurocode 1: Actions on structures - Part 1-3: General actions - Snow loads"), or just simple like "Structural timber - determination of characteristic values of mechanical properties and density"
- the issuing organization. This can be ISO (http://www.iso.org), CEN (http://www.cen.eu), ASTM (http://www.astm.org/).
- the publication date. Usualy just the year or, at the most, the month and the year.
- the standard reference code. Is made by joining the initials of the organizations which is publishing the standard or of the standard type (eg, "EN" for a CEN standard and "prEN" for a CEN standard draft), the standard reference number and the publication date. This leads to something like "EN 384:2004" (for EN standard number 384, published in 2004) or "ICC 400-2007" (for the International Code Council standard number 400, published in 2007). If the standard has an amendment, the reference code looks like "EN 1995-1-1:2004/A1:2008" (which stands for EN standard number 1995, part 1-1, published in 2004, amendment A1, published in 2008).
Some examples of standard references (ref. code + title + publishing organization + address + publishing year):
EN 1995-1-1:2004/A1:2008 - Eurocode 5: design of timber structures – Part 1-1: General – common rules and rules for buildings. CEN, Brussels. 2007.
EN 408:1995 - Timber structures - structural timber and glued laminated timber - determination of some physical and mechanical properties. CEN, Brussels. 1995.
ICC 400-2007 - Standard on the design and construction of log structures. International Code Council, Washington. 2007.
Is it possible/easy to implement this new document type? Any sugestions on how to use the existing document types for citing technical standards?
Thank you very much in advance!
Cheers,
PP

did you find the solution ?
Best
when can we add a standard type?
really good news.
