Data Structure for Content Items

Content Items are individual parts of an Issue. The complete list of Content Items in an Issue is shown always in the Table of Contents navigation on the Issue Detail, List Content Items page (the document with magnifying glass icon). For the purposes of the XOWComics.com site, Content Items include any delineation of artistic credits for both the cover(s), interior and contents for an Issue, though such content may not actually be a "story". For instance, advertisements, letters to the Publisher, promotional items, statements of ownership, etc., are all categorized as Content Items within the XOWComics.com site.

An example of the Content Items section of an Issue Detail, List Content Items page is shown here:

Notice in the Issue Detail section that the Content Items Count is listed as "2 (1 story, 1 cover)". There are two separate Content Items shown in the Content Items section of the page, one of some type of "cover" and one of some type of "story".

A Content Item must be associated with one and only one Issue in the XOWComics.com site. This restriction maintains consistency and integrity within the data in the XOWComics.com site.

A Content Item has a number of attributes that the XOWComics.com site tracks. These individual attributes are as follows:

Title
Content Item Type
Content Item Position
Writer
Pencilist
Inker
Colorist
Letterer
Editor
Genre
Feature
Character
First Line
Synopsis
Reprints Notes
