Hi,

I have been looking at the suitability of using the Eprints software for a 
journals project that I am involved with. The project in question is 
a  simple electronic journals project that aims to make paper based 
journals from developing countries, more widely available to the global 
academic community - more details are available online at:

http://www.inasp.info/ajol/

At present the project just aims to make TOCs and abstracts available from 
the journals. At present the "technical" implementation is crude (just flat 
HTML files). As the project expands (its proving quite popular) I am 
looking to a better technical solution - eprints would seem to provide the 
answer.

The question I have is to do with the way that eprints can be setup to 
handle journal titles (seems straight forward), then multiple issues (the 
question area) and then individual articles (straight forward). I assume 
that the classification schema could be set up to allow for  some kind of 
parent/child/child relationship to be mapped to journal 
title/issue-number/article.

Is this kind of functionality in-built as standard or does it need to be 
hacked by using something like the subject classification scheme functionality?

Thanks,

Martin
