[edit] Ambiguous Link

The link to class in this article is ambiguous, however the class (disambiguation) page do not have a suitable substitute. We will either need to create a new item on the disambiguation page or de-link this page. --Wolfling 12:08, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

I edited around this by replacing 'class of subjects' with 'group of related subjects'. However, this does not address the problem that for a general class, in the sense of collection, the closest links seem to be class (philosophy) and class (set theory), neither of which is close enough.

[edit] How did this term orginate?

How did this term originate, mono means one, and graph could implie a statistical analysis of a certain subject. So mono-graph would seem to become an analysis of a single subject over a period of time?

  • Graph means "writing". Monograph thus means "writing" about "one" thing. -- Worrydream 20:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Annuals

Would Annual publication and yearbooks be considered a monograph? John Vandenberg 00:58, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

No. Must be on a single subject, often a person, and also normally by a single author. Johnbod 21:14, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ISBN

Please note that the barcode on this page is not a valid ISBN-13 barcode. All 13-digit ISBNs current start with 978, although the 979 prefix is likely to be introduced next year. 970 is not a "Bookland" prefix.
