Book Interchange Tag Suite (BITS) Version 1.0 Tag Library Version 1.0

<fpage>

First Page

Page number on which a document starts.

Remarks

The <fpage> element is used in two contexts:

  1. As a part of the metadata concerning a <book-part>; and
  2. As part of bibliographic reference metadata inside bibliographic references (<element-citation> and <mixed-citation>).

Electronic-only journals and books may or may not have page numbers, so this Tag Set supplies the ability to use the <elocation-id> element instead of using the <fpage> or <lpage> elements.

Related Elements

A number of elements in the Suite relate to page numbers:

Best Practice: The <page-range> is intended to record supplementary information and should not be used in the place of the <fpage> and <lpage> elements, which are typically needed for citation matching. The <page-range> element is merely a text string, containing such material as “8-11, 14-19, 40”, which would mean that the document began on page 8, ran through 11, skipped to page 14, ran through 19, and concluded on page 40.

Content Model

<!ELEMENT  fpage        (#PCDATA)                                    >
