Service Documentation

The digitized content was partially used as an input to the ARIGFH project; for those catalogs processed in this context, the objects contained are given in one of the tables arigfh.identified or arigfh.unidentified.

See also the ARIGFH resource info.

For the benefit for search engines (that will hopefully pick up the bibliographic information), here's a paged copy of katkat:

• Teleki 1 through 250
• Teleki 251 through 500
• Teleki 501 through 750
• Teleki 751 through 1000
• Teleki 1001 through 1250
• Teleki 1251 through 1500
• Teleki 1501 through 1750
• Teleki 1751 through 2000
• Teleki 2001 through 2250
• Teleki 2251 and up

Note i

As always in bibliography, nomenclature is at least difficult. For the catalogs, we have no less than for sets of identifiers tied together by katkat.

• HDWL: This is more or less a running number of catalogs included

  in the catalog list. One HDWL major number roughly corresponds to a book or article, and every publication in katkat has an HDWL number. Some works contain multiple tables; in that case, the HDWL has the form major.minor; minor is a single digit.

• Teleki: This is a reference into a catalog of catalogs that was maintained

  by G. Teleki (Published in Publ. Astron. Opservatorije Beogr.) and then for a short while continued at ARI. These are simply numbers, but not all publications listed here have a Teleki number. All catalogs that went into identification have one, though. Unfortunately, it is possible that there are multiple Teleki numbers to a single HDWL entry. In that case, the Teleki number included is just one of them.

• File ID: This is a string containing slashes and parenteses, e.g.

  021/1(434). These refer to input files, where the number after the slash is a running number counting up for a given bibliographical source. Since a single source may give several tables, multiple file ids can refer to a single HDWL number. Since we are primarily interested in the digitized tables, the file id is arigfh.katkat's primary key.

• teleki/catpv: These are strings of the form t<teleki>p<catpv>. They

  were used for catalogs that were crossmatched with the master catalog. File IDs can correspond to multiple teleki/catpv combinations, when a single input was split into multiple outputs that could be treated together. In katkat, the file has one of the teleki/catpv combinations only, again because we are mainly interested in the files. catpv is a two-digit code consisting of "part" and "version".
