List of records published in a year

• Basic: [demo]
  ?select=year=2012
• Read [Reordering records with sort].
• Advanced: Recent 2 years, with sorting by Year and by URID(registration). [demo]
  ?select=year=2012;2011&sort=~year,~urid
• Read [Logical operator in select].

List of some authors: their individual works

• Basic: Use logical OR in select expression. [demo]
  ?select=author=Akira Masumi;Konno Takeshi
• Read [Logical operator in select].
• Advanced: With sorting by Author. [demo]
  ?select=author=Akira Masumi;Konno Takeshi&sort=author
• Read [Reordering records with sort].

List of some authors: their joint works

• Basic: Use logical AND in select expression. [demo]
  ?select=author=Shigeto Kobayashi,author=Takashi Hashimoto
• Read [Logical operator in select].
• Advanced: With sorting by Author. [demo]
  ?select=author=Shigeto Kobayashi,author=Takashi Hashimoto&sort=author
• Read [Reordering records with sort].

List containing both Japanese and English names

• Basic: Use logical OR in select expression. [demo]
  ?select=author=小林 重人;Shigeto Kobayashi
• Read [Logical operator in select].
• Advanced: With sorting by Year and by URID(registration order). [demo]
  ?select=author=小林 重人;Shigeto Kobayashi&sort=~year,~urid
• Read [Reordering records with sort].

Footnote

• Filtering records with select: Publica supports filtering of records.
  The syntax of select expression is as follows:
  SELECT_EXPR := KEY_EXPR [ AND SELECT_EXPR ]
  KEY_EXPR := KEY "=" VALUE_EXPR
  VALUE_EXPR := VALUE [ OR VALUE_EXPR ]
  AND := ","
  OR := ";"
  KEY := "urid" | "author" | "year" | "keyword" | "tag" | ... /*ETCETRA*/
  VALUE := /*A STRING CONSISTING OF VALID LETTERS IN URL*/
  
  Note that no unnecessary whitespace is allowed in expression.
  Care of different locations between the logical AND and logical OR. For example, the following expression is ungrammatical:
  
  ?select=author=Shigeto Kobayashi,Takashi Hashimoto
  It is because the next term of the AND , must be KEY but Takashi Hashimoto is not the case. The following one is correct:
  ?select=author=Shigeto Kobayashi,author=Takashi Hashimoto
  See examples above.
• Logical operators in select: Publica supports logical-OR operator ; in a select sub-expression. Note that behavior for a query consisting of both the logical AND operator , and logical OR operator ; is undefined.
• Reordering records with sort: Publica supports reordering of records: by default, publication records are displayed in the order of registration, i.e. of URID. Sorting is ascending order (2001,2002,... or a,b,c,...) by default. Reverse sorting (descending order: 2012,2011,... or z,y,x,...) will be enabled by prepending the reverse operator ~ to the sort-key entry: e.g. ~year. Sorting can be applied to multiple entries: for example, ~year,author. In this case, first the records will be sorted by Year in descending order and second the records will be sub-sorted by Author in ascending order. The result of the first reordering is preserved thru the second reordering.
• Reordering of non-ASCII letters: Ordering of non-ASCII letters is undefined.
