<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, et al. This element is a direct parallel to the <front> element in NISO JATS.

Remarks

Design Note: Everything is optional in this model, in parallel with the design of the NISO JATS Archiving Tag Set, so that even a book identifier and a book title are optional.

Related Elements

A BITS <book> may be divided into several components:
  1. the <book-meta> (the bibliographic information about the entire book);
  2. the <front-matter> (the narrative front matter of a book or book part such as a Preface);
  3. the <book-body> (the textual and graphical content of the book); and
  4. any <book-back> (any ancillary information such as a glossary, reference list, or appendix).
