S.C.R.O.O.G.E.

Exposes part of the Inducks database through a REST interface. It could be useful for comic related programs (taggers, viewers...) but also for semantic applications mashing up different sources. Data is exported in JSON-LD using http://bib.schema.org data model, specifically ComicSeries, ComicStory and related metadata.

Parts of the Comic Book Ontology (https://comicmeta.org/cbo/) and Dublin Core (http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/) are also used.

Examples:

• /series/us/US -> Uncle Scrooge series
• /series/us/US/issues -> All Uncle Scrooge issues
• /series/us/US/issues/5 -> Issue #5 for Uncle Scrooge (with contained story informations)
• /series/?q=uncle+scrooge -> Search series containing the terms uncle scrooge in the title
• /stories/W+US++++5-02 -> "The secret of Atlantis" Carl Barks story (with backlinks to issues printing it)
• /stories/?q=atlantis -> Search stories containing the term atlantis in the title. Looks also for translated titles in related entries
