ARCHIVA
Results Databases
|
All Archiva search, capture, and convert modules save their records to special Archiva databases. There are two different ways to view these databases:
|
| The Archiva (Primary) View
|
The Archiva View was designed to provide the particular capabilities needed when capturing or converting records:
Immediate (“real-tme”) display of the records as they are being captured
The ability to easily edit the records —the source data may sometimes be incomplete or inaccurate,
and it is much easier to make the necessary adjustments immediately after the capture process
The ability to select the particular records you want to save permanently, and append them to the
database(s) of your choosing
The Archiva view looks just like the familiar Ibidem screen:
It looks like an Ibidem database
It can remain open while you do work in Nota Bene or Ibidem (it is “modeless”)
You can resize it, and reposition it
You can select the same four views (Table, Record, and the two split views)
You can edit any of the records

Example above shows Captured Records (From Clipboard)
Each Archiva module/function adds records to a different Archiva database:
Archiva Books — records are saved to On-Line Library Search Results
Archiva Articles — records are saved to Captured Records (From Clipboard)
Archiva Bibliography Converter — records are saved to Formatted Bibliography Conversion Results
Archiva ISBN Converter — records are saved to Scanned/Typed ISBN #’s Search Results
Archiva Web Page Text Capture — records are saved to Captured Web Page Text
• Web Page Text Capture writes records to a non-bibliographic databases
• In addition, Web Page Text Capture can also save the captured data to the Paste Special Clipboard,
and/or append it to a user-designated file

In addition to the kind of data that you will find in standard Ibidem bibliographic (or, in the case of Archiva Web Page Text, non-bibliographic) databases, Archiva records will show additional fields with useful new information (the actual fields vary depending on which results database is being viewed). Among these are:
The source/format (for example, Amazon, NY Times Article, JSTOR, etc.) and date of retrieval (all
modules)
Where possible, links to the full-text (in HTML and/or PDF format) of articles (Archiva Articles)
The URL of the page being captured (Archiva Web Page Text Capture)
The specific information you specified to be added to all records (Bibliography and ISBN Converter)
In addition, a special Notes Panel provide notes and other descriptive information specific to the site, the source, and/or the capture rules, or other similar data.
Since a results database can have results from lots of different capture sessions, this data is different
for each record—records retrieved from JSTOR will have different notes than those retrieved from the
Library of Congress, for example
Regardless of which database you are viewing, you can:
Edit, modify, enhance, and/or delete any record
Append the records you want to permanently save to any Ibidem database(s)
