<collection-meta> Collection Metadata

Bibliographic metadata describing a book set or series to which this book or book part belongs.

Usage/Remarks

This series metadata may not be complete enough to produce a publisher’s catalog; this is just the series metadata that travels with a book or book part wrapper. By design, this will NOT include metadata concerning other books in the series.
The BITS Tag Set is deliberately agnostic concerning the definition of a book series or a book set, leaving the question of definition to the publisher.
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).
