<edition> Edition
The full edition statement for a document, book part, collection, event, or for a
cited or referenced publication.
Usage/Remarks
Content of <edition>
The content of this element may be a simple edition number (such as “<edition>3</edition>” or “<edition>A</edition>”). More complex edition statements may contain a textual statement (“Third print edition revised”), the edition number as an ordinal (“3rd” or “3rd edition”), or superscripted ordinals (“4<sup>th</sup>”
“4<sup>th</sup> digital edition”). Whether or not the content is more than a simple number, the @designator attribute of this element can be used to hold the simple numerical or alphabetic
edition number (<edition designator="3">3rd Edition reprinted</edition>).
(See Tagging Ordinal Numbers.
Where <edition> is used
There are several positions in which a <edition> element may be used:
- As part of the metadata that describes a book, book-part, or collection (in the <book-meta>, <book-part-meta>, or <collection-meta> elements, respectively).
- Inside an <event> or <event-desc> element to record information about an edition; and
- As part of a bibliographic citation, referencing a book (inside <mixed-citation>, <element-citation>, and others).
