<book-meta> Book Metadata (Whole Book)

Within a <book>, such as a monograph, encyclopedia, or reference volume, etc., the <book-meta> contains the whole-book-level metadata elements such as book title, book identifier such as DOI, series name, edition, ISBN, etc. This element is a direct parallel to the <front> element in JATS.

Usage/Remarks

Everything is optional in this model, in parallel with the design of the JATS Archiving Tag Set, so that even a book identifier and a book title are optional.
Related Elements
Back Matter — Books and book parts do not use the same element for their back matter. Books may contain a <book-back> element, which may contain <book-part> elements. In contrast, book parts may contain a <back> element, similar to that of journal articles, and this <back> cannot contain <book-part> elements.
Parts of a Book — A BITS <book> may be divided into several metadata components:
  1. the <processing-meta> (metadata concerning the XML file rather than the work); and
  2. the <collection-meta> (metadata concerning collections in which this book is a component); and
  3. the <book-meta> (the bibliographic information about the entire book);
and several narrative text components:
  1. the <front-matter> (the narrative front matter of a book or book part such as a Preface);
  2. the <book-body> (the textual and graphical content of the book); and
  3. any <book-back> (any ancillary information such as a glossary, reference list, or appendix).
