<conference>

Conference Information

Container element to contain information about a single conference and its proceedings.

Remarks

Best Practice: There are two ways to use <string-conf>. Best practice, for Archives and Publishers that can work it into their processing, is to identify a conference as completely as possible using the individual conference elements (<conf-name>, <conf-sponsor>, <conf-date>, etc.) and to use <string-conf> only in the rare cases where documentation such as the proceedings volume or a program suggests a fuller title. Although there is nothing in this Tag Set to prevent an archive or publisher from using only <string-conf> and not tagging the conference name, year, etc. separately, this is not recommended.
Design Note: This element and all the contained conference elements were largely based on the original elements from the CrossRef schema.
