THE VALUE OF COOPERATION AMONG EMPLOYEES.
By T. P. WHITE, Veterinary Inspector, Division of Hog-Cholera Control.
SThb high standard of bureau efficiency in the past and its status to-day as a
public institution has been made possible largely through-the loyalty and steady
iendiavors of the employees themselves, their willingness to obey instructions,
the lt uftitng efforts in advancing the bureau policies, and the mutual help

offered one another in their daily contact. In the administration of .rles and
regulations, in the application and adaptation of necessary discipline, in tbhe.
discharge of official duties there has been, generally, a degree of uniform atti-
tude of good will and an eagerness to live up to the demands made upon them In : .
the various assignments. For this, of course, the officials intrusted with the:P
conduct of affairs are grateful.
We are entering upon an era in which cooperation and good will must con-'.'
tinue to be the watchwords. The work in which we are engaged is one of ..
mutual interest; the public functions which we perform for the welfare of the I
national health and wealth are of the greatest importance, and therefore it. s In
essential that there continue to obtain that full measure of cooperation among ..
employees that the bureau isr offering to and asking from other public institu-
tions. ,,
Relation Between Superior and Subordinate.
Perhaps the most important factor in the interest of harmony and for the .
good of administrative work is friendly relations between superior and subordi- :
nate. It is recognized more and more that the successful supervisor or the ::
most efficient inspector in charge is the one who understands human nature and I
who can gain and retain, in a legitimate way, the confidence and respect of those
under his supervision. Giving advice or administering discipline may not always
be pleasant, but the knowledge on the part of subordinates that these duties are ,
discharged on the part of the superior with a broad-minded view of impartiality '
and not tinged with a personal feeling will often make the task less difficult and :
more effective. *,.
A rebuke for perfunctory work, which can be delivered personally with a "H
mixture of friendly interest, will do more to rectify misguided action than a
dozen written reprimands. This applies, of course, when offenses are not of so .
serious a nature as to form a part of the official record. The friendly smile and
nod of recognition to the subordinate from the inspector in charge, the super-
visor, and particularly the traveling inspector or the visitor from the Washing- m
ton office, whether in the stock pen, the killing floor, the field, or the ,
office will lighten the burden, bridge the gap, and stimulate efforts for most I
efficient service. The visit of supervision by any of the above-named officials
should be in a spirit of friendly cooperation and not primarilyto detect faults
in individual employees. The sooner the subordinate is assured of this, the 3.
sooner will the danger of possible distrust and fear be eliminated. Those in-
vested with supervisory powers, intrusted with investigational duties, or in
charge of projects should make courtesy a part of their official work among
subordinates.
Relation Among Employees of the Same Class.
The spirit of cooperation, especially, should form one of the strongest bonds of
association among fellow workers. No employee can afford to stand aloof and "
refrain from entering into mutual exchange of ideas pertaining to the work.
Each one of us at some time or other needs assistance from some one else, regard-
less of position or standing. This is of special significance in the case of new
employees assigned to a station. Their scientific knowledge of technical subjects
may be of a high degree, but there may be lacking that practical training neces-
sary to the particular line of duties involved. The instruction and assistance J01
given by older employees to those newly assigned should be offered in a broad ,'
spirit of cooperation, avoiding all action or word that might lead to suggested
superiority, bearing in mind always that the situation was reversed, perhaps, a
few years before. It is always well, of course, to impress newcomers with the. :"

importance of their work, the loyalty they owe to their bureau, and the responsi-
bilities resting upon them; but these things can be done in such a friendly and
diplomatic way as to engender brotherly feeling. Sympathy in adversity, for-
bearance in cases of slow adaptability, and praise for work well done will do
wonders in creating an atmosphere of congeniality and bringing about a response
in services of a higher grade. In return the receiver of such favors should show
the proper degree of appreciation and so apply the knowledge thus obtained that
a measure of satisfaction and credit will revert to the instructor responsible for
the training.
Cooperation Among Employees of Various Classes.
We should hold to the fundamental thought that we are all bureau employees.
Each employee is classed and assigned according to his ability to discharge cer-
tain duties and perform certain work for which he is peculiarly adapted by reason
of education, training, or practical experience. His services are as valuable in a
special line as those of others in different lines. There is thus a dovetailing of
the functions of each class of employees essential to the harmonious and efficient
conduct of the bureau work as a whole.
As fellow workers all employees are entitled to mutual consideration and
courtesy. A difference of salary, of title, of activities, or of rank should not
constitute the right to assume a superior attitude or demand special recognition
or privilege. In this day there is no place in any part of official life for any
degree of snobbishness. What democracy has brought about for the small as
well as the great nations of the world, namely, equality of opportunity for all,
is a very good motto to recognize and adopt, whether engaged in official duties,
in private enterprise, or in any other pursuit of life.

NOTICE REGARDING MEAT INSPECTION
DESTROY THE FLY.
Inspectors and establishment officials should continue a vigorous campaign
against flies. A thorough survey of the premises of official establishments
should be made from time to time and all fly-breeding material removed at
least once in 3 days or otherwise properly disposed of. Thorough screening
of all external openings, such as doors, windows, ventilators, skylights, etc.,
is necessary to exclude flies. Fly screen not larger than 20 mesh to the inch
is required to keep skipper flies from passing through. An ample supply of
properly baited flytraps should be constantly employed. Directions for mak-
ing an efficient flytrap may be found on page 2 of Service and Regulatory An-
nouncements of January, 1916.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE WAR MEMORIAL.
The success of the Department of Agriculture War Memorial is now assured.
The Bureau of Animal Industry leads all the other bureaus in the department k
the amount pledged and we should be very proud that we have responded si
well to the opportunity presented.
All those who have not subscribed are urged to do so, as still more money in
needed in order to make the memorial what it should be. Let us not consider
the job completed, but continue the good work. It will facilitate matters
greatly if the various stations of the bureau will forward, as soon as convenient,
the sums pledged but not yet paid. So far only about two-thirds of the amount
pledged has been paid in.
Make checks payable to Ernest Kelly, Dairy Division, or to the Department .
of Agriculture War Memorial Committee.

PERMITTED DIP.
For Cattle for Ticks.
"Rogers Tick-Dip D," an arsenical dip, is permitted by the department in the
official dipping of cattle for ticks. The dilution for the official dipping of cattle
for interstate movement is 1 gallon of the dip to not more than 127 gallons of
water, which will yield a solution containing not less than 0.22 per cent actual
arsenious oxid.
CONGRESSIONAL INCREASE OF COMPENSATION.
The following instructions relative to claiming congressional increase of com-
pensation at the rate of $240 per annum will be observed in connection with the
preparation and submission of pay rolls and salary vouchers for the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 1919.
Increase of compensation at the rate of $240 per annum will be claimed for
each employee who received, or was entitled to receive, the congressional in-
crease at the rate of $120 per annum on or prior to June 30, 1919.
Increase of compensation at the rate of 60 per cent instead of 30 per cent of
basic salary will be claimed for each employee whose basic salary is at a rate
less than $400 per annum, who received, or was entitled to receive, the congres-
sional increase on or prior to June 30, 1919.
In each case where an employee, receiving a salary of not less than $400 and
not more than $2,500 per annum, entered the service of the bureau on or before
June 30, 1918, and has not since received the congressional increase by reason of
,1919.]1
BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY.
the fact that he entered the service after June 30, 1917, or by reason of his
having received an increase in basic salary in excess of $200 per annum since
that date, the $240 congressional increase of compensation will be claimed for
such an employee provided the increase in basic salary in excess of $200 became
effective on or before June 30, 1918, and provided further he is not a cooperative
employee receiving part of his pay from any outside source. The same instruc-
tions will apply to employees receiving less than $400 per annum to whom the 60
per cent instead of 30 per cent increase is to be paid.
The congressional increase will not be claimed for any employee who entered
the service after June 30, 1918, nor for any employee whose salary has been
increased in excess of $200 since that date unless he has been duly certified
therefore by the Secretary.
In cases of employees promoted or increased in salary in excess of $200
during the year beginning July 1, 1919, but who were at any time previously
certified, it is not necessary that they be certified again, and the congressional
increase will be claimed for them.
Employees receiving a salary of more than $2,500 and less than $2,740 per
annum are entitled to sufficient congressional increase to make their total com-
pensation $2,740 per annum provided they come within the classes above
referred to. Examples:
Salary $2,560 plus $180 congressional increase of compensation........ $2,740
Salary $2,600 plus $140 congressional increase of compensation --------... 2,740
Salary $2,700 plus $40 congressional increase of compensation --------- 2,740
All congressional increase of compensation except that of employees com-
missioned to use their automobiles and which is included in the total salary
rate specified in their commissions will be entered on rolls and salary vouchers
separated from basic salary in the column and space provided thereon for the
Employees whose rate of total compensation now includes basic salary, con-
gressional increase, and allowance for automobile or other conveyance, will be
changed by the bureau to include the $240 instead of $120 congressional in-
crease and inspectors in charge, until further advised, will claim salary for
them on their pay rolls accordingly.
It is clearly not the purpose of Congress to provide that every employee
without exception should be given the $240 increase of compensation; other-
wise the limitations in the law would not have been included. Inspectors in
charge should, therefore, exercise discrimination in making recommendations
regarding the increase and recommend only those cases in which it is clear
that the employees on account of "ability and qualifications personal to them"
should be granted the increase. This is particularly true in the cases of those
employees who have received promotions aggregating more than $200 per
annum since June 30, 1918. It was undoubtedly the intention of Congress, as
indicated by the use of the words ability and qualifications personal to them,"
that the additional compensation in such cases, as well as in cases of employees
who have entered the service since June 30, 1918, should be allowed only when
the employees have special qualifications for the task upon which they are en-
gaged and have exhibited special ability in the performance of their work. It
is not felt to be in accordance with the spirit of the law for officials to recom-
mend that the increase be granted to every employee or to all employees other
than those whose work is below a fair standard of efficiency.
The attention of inspectors and others in charge is called to the fact that
they have no authority either to suspend or dismiss an employee or to grant
leave without pay. All such action is administrative and can be taken. by the

In the case of employees who resigned or were furloughed on account of

DOMESTIC TELEGRAPH RATES INCREASED.
General attention is invited to the following excerpts from order No. 2,940,
Office of the Postmaster General, March 29, 1919:
Effective from April 1, 1919, the telegraph rates for domestic
United States Government telegrams are increased 20 per cent over the present
Government rates.
Government leased wires shall be charged for at an advance of 20 per cent
over existing leased-wire rates, whether such wires be furnished by a telegraph
or a telephone system under Government controL
In the audit of telegraph accounts against the Department of Agriculture
for service on and after April 1, 1919, the rates indicated in Appendix D of the
Fiscal Regulations will accordingly be increased 20 per cent. The Fiscal Regu-
lations are amended accordingly.
INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING FORM T-15.
Inspectors in charge and others forwarding Form T-15 reports to the bureau
are Instructed to discontinue placing them inside of or attaching them to
accounts. These forms have to be detached from the accounts in the mail room
and it wastes considerable time if the clerks in that office have to search through
each account for the forms.
PAYMENT OF GRATUITY OR TIP IN GEORGIA.
The second section of Appendix F of the Fiscal Regulations of this Depart-
ment, as amended by Memorandum No. 271, dated April 1, 1919, is hereby
further amended to read as follows:
In Georgia, payment of a gratuity, tip, or other thing of value or of valuable
consideration to any employee of any hotel, restaurant, or other public place,
or to any employee of any person, firm, partnership, or corporation, or of any
public service corporation engaged in the transportation of passengers, is pro-
hibited by law.
The State of Iowa is omitted from the above-mentioned amendment, due to
the fact that the antitipping law in that State has been held to be unconstitu-
tional by the State supreme court.
AMENDMENTS TO ADMINISTRATIVE AND FISCAL REGULATIONS.
Amendment 1 to the Administrative Regulations, effective March 1, 1919,

P. WHITE, Veterinary Inspector, Division of Hog-Cholera Control.The high standard of bureau efficiency in the past and its status to-day as apublic institution has been made possible largely through the loyalty and steadyendeavors of the employees themselves, their willingness to obey instructions,their untiring efforts in advancing the bureau policies, and the mutual help121340*-19 47
48 BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY. [May,offered one another in their daily contact. In the administration of rules andregulations, in the application and adaptation of necessary discipline, in thedischarge of official duties there has been, generally, a degree of uniform atti-tude of good will and an eagerness to live up to the demands made upon them inthe various assignments. For this, of course, the officials intrusted with theconduct of affairs are grateful.We are entering upon an era in which cooperation and good will must con-tinue to be the watchwords. The work in which we are engaged is one ofmutual interest; the public functions which we perform for the welfare of thenational health and wealth are of the greatest importance, and therefore it isessential that there continue to obtain that full measure of cooperation amongemployees that the bureau is offering to and asking from other public institu-tions.Relation Between Superior and Subordinate.Perhaps the most important factor in the interest of harmony and for thegood of administrative work is friendly relations between superior and subordi-nate. It is recognized more and more that the successful supervisor or themost efficient inspector in charge is the one who understands human nature andwho can gain and retain, in a legitimate way, the confidence and respect of thoseunder his supervision. Giving advice or administering discipline may not alwaysbe pleasant, but the knowledge on the part of subordinates that these duties aredischarged on the part of the superior with a broad-minded view of impartialityand not tinged with a personal feeling will often make the task less difficult andmore effective.A rebuke for perfunctory work, which can be delivered personally with amixture of friendly interest, will do more to rectify misguided action than adozen written reprimands. This applies, of course, when offenses are not of soserious a nature as to form a part of the official record. The friendly smile andnod of recognition to the subordinate from the inspector in charge, the super-visor, and particularly the traveling inspector or the visitor from the Washington office, whether in the stock pen, the killing floor, the field, or theoffice will lighten the burden, bridge the gap, and stimulate efforts for mostefficient service. The visit of supervision by any of the above-named officialsshould be in a spirit of friendly cooperation and not primarily to detect faultsin individual employees. The sooner the subordinate is assured of this, thesooner will the danger of possible distrust and fear be eliminated. Those in-vested with supervisory powers, intrusted with investigational duties, or incharge of projects should make courtesy a part of their official work amongsubordinates.Relation Among Employees of the Same Class.The spirit of cooperation, especially, should form one of the strongest bonds ofassociation among fellow workers. No employee can afford to stand aloof andrefrain from entering into mutual exchange of ideas pertaining to the work. Each one of us at some time or other needs assistance from some one else, regard-less of position or standing. This is of special significance in the case of newemployees assigned to a station. Their scientific knowledge of technical subjectsmay be of a high degree, but there may be lacking that practical training neces-sary to the particular line of duties involved. The instruction and assistancegiven by older employees to those newly assigned should be offered in a broadspirit of cooperation, avoiding all action or word that might lead to suggestedsuperiority, bearing in mind always that the situation was reversed, perhaps, afew years before. It is always well, of course, to impress newcomers with the
1919.] SERVICE AND REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS. 49importance of their work, the loyalty they owe to their bureau, and the responsi-bilities resting upon them; but these things can be done in such a friendly anddiplomatic way as to engender brotherly feeling. Sympathy in adversity, for-bearance in cases of slow adaptability, and praise for work well done will dowonders in creating an atmosphere of congeniality and bringing about a responsein services of a higher grade. In return the receiver of such favors should showthe proper degree of appreciation and so apply the knowledge thus obtained thata measure of satisfaction and credit will revert to the instructor responsible forthe training.Cooperation Among Employees of Various Classes.We should hold to the fundamental thought that we are all bureau employees.Each employee is classed and assigned according to his ability to discharge cer-tain duties and perform certain work for which he is peculiarly adapted by reasonof education, training, or practical experience. His services are as valuable in aspecial line as those of others in different lines. There is thus a dovetailing ofthe functions of each class of employees essential to the harmonious and efficientconduct of the bureau work as a whole.As fellow workers all employees are entitled to mutual consideration andcourtesy. A difference of salary, of title, of activities, or of rank should notconstitute the right to assume a superior attitude or demand special recognitionor privilege. In this day there is no place in any part of official life for any degree of snobbishness. What democracy has brought about for the small aswell as the great nations of the world, namely, equality of opportunity for all,is a very good motto to recognize and adopt, whether engaged in official duties,in private enterprise, or in any other pursuit of life.CHANGES IN DIRECTORY.Meat Inspection Inaugurated.3-AY.

Fly screen not larger than 20 mesh to the inchis required to keep skipper flies from passing through. An ample supply ofproperly baited flytraps should be constantly employed. Directions for mak-ing an efficient flytrap may be found on page 2 of Service and Regulatory An-nouncements of January, 1916.

Examples:Salary $2,560 plus $180 congressional increase of compensation------$2, 740Salary $2,600 plus $140 congressional increase of compensation-------2,740Salary $2,700 plus $40 congressional increase of compensation--------2, 740All congressional increase of compensation except that of employees com-missioned to use their automobiles and which is included in the total salaryrate specified in their commissions will be entered on rolls and salary vouchersseparated from basic salary in the column and space provided thereon for thepurpose.Employees whose rate of total compensation now includes basic salary, con-gressional increase, and allowance for automobile or other conveyance, will bechanged by the bureau to include the $240 instead of $120 congressional in-crease and inspectors in charge, until further advised, will claim salary forthem on their pay rolls accordingly.It is clearly not the purpose of Congress to provide that every employeewithout exception should be given the $240 increase of compensation; other-wise the limitations in the law would not have been included. Inspectors incharge should, therefore, exercise discrimination in making recommendationsregarding the increase and recommend only those cases in which it is clearthat the employees on account of " ability and qualifications personal to them "should be granted the increase. This is particularly true in the cases of thoseemployees who have received promotions aggregating more than $200 perannum since June 30, 1918. It was undoubtedly the intention of Congress, as indicated by the use of the words " ability and qualifications personal to them,"that the additional compensation in such cases, as well as in cases of employeeswho have entered the service since June 30, 1918, should be allowed only whenthe employees have special qualifications for the task upon which they are en-gaged and have exhibited special ability in the performance of their work. Itis not felt to be in accordance with the spirit of the law for officials to recom-mend that the increase be granted to every employee or to all employees otherthan those whose work is below a fair standard of efficiency.DISMISSAL AND FURLOUGH OF EMPLOYEES.The attention of inspectors and others in charge is called to the fact thatthey have no authority either to suspend or dismiss an employee or to grantleave without pay. All such action is administrative and can be taken by the
1919.) SERVICE AND REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS. 55Secretary of Agriculture only. Requests to suspend, dismiss, or furloughemployees should be referred to the chief of the bureau.LEAVE THAT MAY BE GRANTED TO EMPLOYEES RETURNINGFROM MILITARY SERVICE.In the case of employees who resigned, or were furloughed on account ofmilitary service, upon their honorable discharge and return to duty in the bureau they may be granted such annual and sick leaves as accrues to themfrom the date of their restoration to the rolls.DOMESTIC TELEGRAPH RATES INCREASED.General attention is invited to the following excerpts from order No. 2,940,Office of the Postmaster General, March 29, 1919:Effective from April 1, 1919, * * * the telegraph rates for domesticUnited States Government telegrams are increased 20 per cent over the presentGovernment rates.Government leased wires shall be charged for at an advance of 20 per centover existing leased-wire rates, whether such wires be furnished by a telegraphor a telephone system under Government control.In the audit of telegraph accounts against the Department of Agriculturefor service on and after April 1, 1919, the rates indicated in Appendix D of the Fiscal Regulations will accordingly be increased 20 per cent. The Fiscal Regu-lations are amended accordingly.INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING FORM T-15.Inspectors in charge and others forwarding Form T-15 reports to the bureauare instructed to discontinue placing them inside of or attaching them toaccounts. These forms have to be detached from the accounts in the mail roomand it wastes considerable time if the clerks in that office have to search througheach account for the forms.PAYMENT OF GRATUITY OR TIP IN GEORGIA.The second section of Appendix F of the Fiscal Regulations of this Depart-ment, as amended by Memorandum No. 271, dated April 1, 1919, is herebyfurther amended to read as follows:In Georgia, payment of a gratuity, tip, or other thing of value or of valuableconsideration to any employee of any hotel, restaurant, or other public place,or to any employee of any person, firm, partnership, or corporation, or of anypublic service corporation engaged in the transportation of passengers, is pro-hibited by law. The State of Iowa is omitted from the above-mentioned amendment, due tothe fact that the antitipping law in that State has been held to be unconstitu-tional by the State supreme court.AMENDMENTS TO ADMINISTRATIVE AND FISCAL REGULATIONS.Amendment 1 to the Administrative Regulations, effective March 1, 1919,and Amendment 1 to the Fiscal Regulations, effective April 1, 1919, have beenissued in pamphlet form the size of the bound original issue of such regu-lations.

Q: How many MySQL rows are too many? I'm working on a website that utilizes essentially a database with a table of organizations, one row for each organization.  Each organization can have an unlimited number of attached keywords.  The keywords are represented in a separate table from the organizations where each row is simply the primary key, the keyword, and the primary key of the organization it is attached to.  Eventually this table could have many thousands of entries.  Will this making pulling records from this table, as well as listing unique keywords in the table, too time consuming?

A: Having a couple of hundred thousands rows is perfectly fine, as long as :

*

*they are indexed properly

*and your queries are done properly (i.e. using the right indexes, for instance)
I'm working on an application that's doing lots of queries on several tables with a couple of hundred thousands records in each, with joins and not "simple" where clause, and that application is working fine -- well, since we've optimized the queries and indexes ^^

A couple of million rows, in those conditions, is OK too, I'd say -- depends on what kind of queries (and how many of those) you'll do ^^

In every case, there's only one way to know for sure :

*

*You have to know what kind of queries you'll be doing,

*You also have to have a large dataset to test,

*And you have to benchmarking : launch the queries on your dataset, a lot of times, with concurrency, as if in "real conditions" -- and it'll help answer to the questions "will it handle the load ? do I have to optimize ? what are the bottlenecks ?"

A: Many thousands of entries is not very many at all.  Make sure to index on keywords if you need to retrieve specific ones.

A: as already stated before mysql should not be the problem - I heard of tables with literally millions of rows causing no problem.. But be aware that php loops around mysql requests can be tricky, slow things down and even wind up your script with a 'timeout' error!

A: If you have to ask for the limits, you're doing it wrong. Although you're describing a Many-to-Many relationship, which is perfectly okay.
Just keep the indexes up to date and it shouldn't be a problem. I have a table in my current database that has 94k rows, and it's plenty fast enough.
A few recommendations to make it faster, if you know how long the keyword can be, and it's not too large, consider using CHAR instead of VARCHAR, you'll use more space, but a fully set byte length row is orders of magnitude faster than one that isn't.
When executing queries, get only what you need, i.e. limit/top and where clauses, and don't use '*' in the selector unless you really need all the rows.

Remember all that stuff I said about 24 last week? … Well, nevermind … After a rare off week, 24 came back with a vengeance last night. The insanely tense episode, which probably shot up my blood pressure to dangerous stroke levels, was arguably one of the best ever … Hard to believe that only last week I was questioning if 24 was becoming an uninvolving soap that had jumped the shark. I got my answer sooner than expected.
Follow up article to one I posted a link to last week titled "24 Becoming a boring soap?", unsual to see review be turned around so completely in so little time, but that's just what 24 does.

It can be used by an HTTP client by configuring its HTTP Accept headers, or directly through a browser, constructing a URL.
The DataCite Citation Formatter is one important example of what can be done with DOI content negotiation. If you want more information, please visit DataCite Citation Formatter Documentation.
Who can use DataCite Content Negotiation?
DataCite content negotiation is open to the whole community and does not require authentication. It is particularly designed to provide direct access to all our DOIs, simplify integrations and avoid format conversions.
How does the DataCite Content Negotiation work?
The DOI proxy at doi.org will normally redirect a user to the resource location URL of a DOI. For example, the DOI "10.5284/1015681" redirects to a landing page describing the dataset, "Excavation of a Romano-British Cemetery...". Content negotiated requests to doi.org that ask for a content type which isn't "text/html" will be redirected to the DataCite content negotiation service.
GET "Accept: text/html" https://doi.org/10.5284/1015681 | | | V Repository landing page archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archives/view/greylit/details.cfm?id=13979
GET "Accept: text/html"
https://doi.org/10.5284/1015681
Repository landing page
archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archives/view/greylit/details.cfm?id=13979
Normal browser requests or explicit requests for text/html redirect to the content's landing page.
GET "Accept: application/rdf+xml" https://doi.org/10.5284/1015681 | | | V DataCite content negotiation service http://data.datacite.org/10.5284/1015681
GET "Accept: application/rdf+xml"
DataCite content negotiation service
http://data.datacite.org/10.5284/1015681
Requests for a data type redirect to a registration agency's metadata service.
Making a content negotiated request requires the use of the Accept HTTP header. Content types that are acceptable to the client (those that it knows how to parse), each with an optional "quality" value indicating its relative suitability. For example, a client that wishes to receive citeproc JSON if it is available, but which can also handle RDF XML if citeproc JSON is unavailable, would make a request with an Accept header listing both "application/citeproc+json" and "application/rdf+xml":
$ curl -LH "Accept: application/rdf+xml;q=0.5, application/vnd.citationstyles.csl+json;q=1.0" https://doi.org/10.5284/1015681
This request favours citeproc JSON but will accept RDF XML if citeproc is unavailable. The q values are optional. The request could have been written without them. The order of content types then becomes important; more suitable content types should be placed at the front of the Accept header.
$ curl -LH "Accept: application/vnd.citationstyles.csl+json, application/rdf+xml" https://doi.org/10.5284/1015681
DataCite supports different response codes, listed below. If multiple content types specified by the client are supported by a DOI then the content type with the highest "q" value (or, if no "q" values are specified, the one that appears first in the "accept" header) will be returned.
The request was OK.
The request was OK but there was no metadata available.
The DOI requested doesn't exist.
Link-based Content Type Requests
DataCite supports link-based content type requests. This method can be used with a regular web browser. In order to get a specific format please construct a URL following this pattern: https://data.datacite.org/MIME_TYPE/DOI.
Extra parameters, e.g. when using the text/x-bliography content type, can be included, e.g.
curl https://data.datacite.org/text/x-bibliography;style=ieee/10.5061/dryad.8515
This method allows DataCite data centres to link additional metadata and data itself using custom URLs, still using the primary URL for the DOI to point to the landing page of a data set.
Supported Content Types
DataCite supports a number of metadata content types:
RDF XML
RDF Turtle
Citeproc JSON
Schema.org in JSON-LD
application/vnd.schemaorg.ld+json
Codemeta
application/vnd.codemeta.ld+json
Formatted text citation
text/x-bibliography
application/x-bibtex
DataCite XML
application/vnd.datacite.datacite+xml
DataCite JSON
application/vnd.datacite.datacite+json
JATS
application/vnd.jats+xml

Are you unhappy with ticket resale websites?
Mark McLaren
Have you used a secondary ticketing website like Viagogo or Seatwave? Whether you've been reselling or buying tickets, are these sites working for you?
Our Play Fair on Ticket Fees campaign has had big wins in the primary ticketing market – last month seven companies agreed to show all compulsory fees upfront. It's not before time. Fee transparency is a key and fundamental consumer principle. Indeed, it is the law under the Consumer Protection Regulations and a requirement of the Advertising Standards Authority too.
But what about the secondary ticketing market – now dominated by online operators like Viagogo, Seatwave and Getmein? Even Ebay and Gumtree are involved too. Shouldn't the same transparency principle apply there?
Reselling gig tickets
The first question is: do you even know the difference between primary and secondary ticketing? In the old pre-internet days, secondary ticketing may have been called ticket touting, but now it seems to have gone a bit more legit. It's become an online marketplace that puts people in touch with each other to get tickets for, well, frankly anything.
The BBC reported last month that some entertainment lovers were paying over £2,000 for two tickets (with a £20-£35 face value) to see the Donmar Warehouse's Corialanus. That included an incredible £255 booking fee, a £9.95 shipping charge and £51 VAT.
We've debated secondary ticketing before on Which? Convo, and the response was as you'd expect: people have mixed views and experiences.
Perhaps this isn't surprising as some people are winners from selling any spare tickets at much higher prices than they paid. But others are losers as they buy tickets they could've bought from the primary agent at face value, or are sold tickets with restricted view at an inflated price.
All Party Group on Ticket Abuse
Stepping into this murky world is the new All Party Group on Ticket Abuse, which has set up an inquiry. And later this month they want to hear from Which?.
Some MPs want to regulate the market, such as by setting a cap on how much extra a ticket can be re-sold for. Other MPs want big events to have the same ticket restrictions as the London 2012 Olympics to stop ticket touting. The Government meanwhile has made it pretty clear that it does not want to regulate the secondary ticketing market, and instead sees the solution to any problems lying with the industry itself.
So, what do you think? Have you used a secondary ticket website? What was your experience? Did you get what you paid for? Do you think the market should be regulated and, if so, how?

GDS says:
The banks could put a stop to the sharp practices, but refusing to handle credit card payments for these companies. If everyone who has problem with these people challenges the transactions on their credit card bills, the banks will hopefully get so fed up with the time and effort of handling the large numbers it might just focus their attention.
GDS, why should a bank prevent a customer making a payment unless they know the transaction to be fraudulent? Customers choose to go through with these overpriced transactions. Most secondary sellers are not fraudulent, just opportunist, preying on customers being prepared to get something whatever the cost.
E Baker says:
Malcolm R, You have not seen the facebook groups: Victims of Viagogo and Victim of Viagogo. Also, you are unaware that the Advertising Standards Authority and Competition and Markets Authority have both ruled against Viagogo for its sharp practices in the resale market. You didn't know that Margot James MP is telling people not to buy tickets from Viagogo 'because they are the worst!'. I guess you are a ticket tout then.
I think your final sentence is an uncalled for insult, E. Baker.
We know that ticket resellers are sailing close to the wind but are they acting illegally or fraudulently? Which? and correspondents on this Conversation and others on the same topic have been warning against use of certain companies and despairing of the lack of effective regulation of the market for a long time.
Perhaps you yourself have not read all the comments in this and subsequent Conversations on the whole sordid and exploitative business of concert and event ticketing. Banning the purchase of tickets by credit cards is not the answer – the whole operation, from the artistes upwards, needs a thorough shake-up; that is the only way to protect fans.
It would be interesting to check what contribution Margot James made to reforming this business when she was Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Small Business, Consumers and Corporate Responsibility for nearly two years.
Elaine Baker says:
You may consider my response to Malcolm R as a little harsh but my experience of touts after reading posts for many months on on Victims of Viagogo and Victim of Viagogo is that they say the buyer is to blame (as suggested by Malcolm R's last sentence). I agree with you that it took a while for Margot James to make a contribution to the debate but, thankfully her latest comments are damning. Let's hope promoters follow Kilimanjaro's example with Ed Sheeran concerts at Cardiff and London by banning resold tickets bought through Viagogo and thank goodness for campaigners such as Fanfair Alliance and Claire Turnham who have produced refund guidance that, so far, have enabled refunds of over £700,000 from Viagogo.
I think Malcolm was making a fair comment, Elaine. The ticket resellers are preying on the tendency of fans to buy tickets at any price – and for them it works. There have been ample warnings about ticket reselling in the media and advice to concert-goers to use common sense and not pay inflated prices, but needs must when the devil drives and the market is unstoppable without firm rules and enforcement of them.
I agree with you about artistes who ban "resold" tickets obtained through certain companies, but the fact is that the artistes, their agents, the promoters, and the numerous auxiliary and parasitic operators who are part of the food chain have been in it up to their necks and taking advantage of fans for years. Manipulating the prices of tickets up and down in the run up to an event, withholding blocks of seats and then releasing them, operating a false market – this is how the appeal of an event is hyped and the status of artistes is managed.
The soft approach by successive governments has not worked; the market is incapable of reforming itself. Without legislation – which the current government is frightened of introducing – the bad practices will persist and prevail. Ministers can wring their hands and tell people not to buy "resold" tickets [false description] but human nature dictates otherwise and consumers need protection from exploitation.
I do not condone sharp practice Elaine, but people knowingly pay inflated prices for tickets and there have been enough warnings about their methods of operation.
DerekP says:
I tend to side with malcolm here. Anyone who chooses to pay an inflated price has agreed to that deal.
Let's consider the alternative: what's the worst that can happen if you pass up the chance to go to a gig?
Malcolm R, if you believe what you say then I ask you to check out Victims of Viagogo and read some of the stories. It will enlighten you.
Derek P, I am sorry to inform you but you are wrong. Go on facebook and look at Victims of Viagogo (over 8,000 members who have been duped). You will find it enlightening.
Elaine Baker,
I am sorry that you do agree with my opinion, as posted above, but as it is only my opinion, it is what I think and therefore cannot be wrong.
I'm also afraid to report that I don't use FaceBook, so I can't (or won't) be going on there to check the sources you're referring too.
That said, if Viagogo have been misleading folk about the final costs of tickets, e.g. by charging, say, £30 for a £20 ticket, then £70 admin fees, then £100 for express delivery, and so on, then I don't condone that behavior as a good open and honest business practice.
That said, as in all things both ancient and modern, I'd expect the classical principle of "caveat emptor" to apply. I guess that was malcolm's point, but he is more than adequate of defending his view, should he wish to do so.
And again, if you don't want to buy rip off priced tickets, what's the worst that can happen if you pass up the chance to go to a gig?
The last gig I attended was free, apart from the charity donations I made there and my beer money. It also featured a nice hot summer day – and a three hour train delay getting home afterwards.
https://www.gov.uk/cma-cases/secondary-ticketing-websites describes the work being done by the CMA to try to ensure that contract terms etc are fair. viagogo have not complied with requirements but it seems the "unfair terms" law is tricky and may need testing in court.
I am aware of the problems people have had with viagogo and, as I said above, do not condone sharp practice. However this is a problem that has been widely publicised, viagogo being a prime offender, so it would be better if people simply avoided using them. That might make them change their approach.
I would prefer to see only the promoter and accredited agents selling tickets at their face value, and anyone who wished to sell tickets they had purchased, but could not use, could only do so back to the promoter (but with no entitlement to a refund unless they could be resold). It won't happen.
"Don't buy tickets from Viagogo, minister warns
By Chris Johnston
Business reporter, BBC News
A minister has told consumers not to use Viagogo, one of the big four secondary ticket resellers."
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44299981
I was happy to pay the hugely inflated price of tickets on Viagogo which appeared to be sold out everywhere else.. as it was a special occasion treat from a terminally ill family member, but when I discovered that the tickets were in someone else's name …which I was not aware of or expecting and when the venue told me they could do ID checks and deny entry that was when Viagogo failed me as they did not provide ID from the original seller. I received no support from them other than the suggestion to resell the tickets which would place someone else is exactly the same vulnerable situation.
As the concert was abroad I would be taking a huge and expensive risk in trying to use the tickets. Their customer support is a joke, 20+ emails with generic responses which prove that they never actually read the enquiries but probably have robots replying to messages, and its impossible to speak to anyone if your concert is not within 72 hours. Absolutely no ability or desire to take individual customers situations into account which is what true customer service is about.
Jan B says:
Viagogo has, for too long, been using deceptive online selling to dupe and deceive those buying tickets online. I am a moderator on two Facebook groups dedicated to helping Victims of Viagogo with thousands of members all reporting how they have been defrauded by Viagogo. Each and every day, the dreadful misery suffered at the hands of Viagogo is exposed by yet more victims.
The banks seem to be very inconsistent in helping customers who have unwittingly become caught in Viagogo's less than honest business and are not adhering the the Financial Conduct Authority rules in dealing with customers. Not finding assistance from the bank forthcoming is not good enough; the banks are effectively supporting Visgogo in flouting Consumer Rights Law and ASA and CMA rulings.
