<meta-name>

Metadata Data Name for Custom Metadata

Name of a single piece of metadata not otherwise defined in the Tag Suite.

Remarks

Other tag sets may define metadata above and beyond that which is specified in this Tag Set. To capture this metadata during conversion, use the <custom-meta> element, which contains one name/value pair with few constraints on the length or content of the value. For example, if an element named <prev-book-title> contains an older title for this book, the <custom-meta> element can be used as part of the book metadata (<book-meta>), with a <meta-name> of “prev-book-title” and a <meta-value> containing the older name.

Related Elements

The element <custom-meta-group> is a grouping element that holds one or more <custom-meta> elements. Each <custom-meta> element contains a name/value pair, <meta-name> and <meta-value> respectively, which name and provide a value for a single metadata field.
