Corpus of Western Armenian — Publications Data Store
Similar to the Authors Data Store, the Publications Data Store is a file-based repository that stores Publication objects in a single file named publications.properties.
Depending on your application, you may choose to use the data in the Publications Data Store, or simply ignore it. For example, if you need the name of the publication, its location, and the year of its founding, you can consult the data store.
The file is UTF-8 encoded and resembles a Java properties file with one key-value pair per line.
Each line has the format <publication key> = <value>, where <value> is a JSON Object representing an Publication object.
The following is a snippet of the properties.properties file:
