Usage/Remarks

In this version of this Tag Set, there are two attributes that can be used to describe history dates and publication dates of books. The @date-type attribute records the type of event in the lifecycle, such as “accepted”, “published”, or “revised” dates. In addition, the @publication-format attribute records the type of format or media, for example, “print”, to which the event happened. In this Tag Set, the attribute @date-type might take the value “corrected” and the @publication-format attribute the value “electronic” to convey a corrected electronic version, which some publishers call “ecorrected”.
OPTIONAL on elements: <date>, <pub-date>
