<size>
Size
Size of a resource or object described in a bibliographic reference or product. The
@units attribute must be used to name the
units of measure (for example, minutes, hours, linear feet, pages).
Remarks
Related Essay: For a discussion on the use of
<size>, see Length and Size.
Best Practice: In the metadata for a book or book
component, the element <book-page-count> records the number of
pages in a print version, and the <page-range> records
additional page information such as discontinuous ranges. However, in the description of
a <product>, number of pages should be
recorded using the <size> element, which can
also be used for running time and other measurements of size/length. The element
<book-page-count> cannot be used inside
<product>.
