This Tag Library document includes:
- Short descriptions and usage notes for the elements and attributes,
- Descriptions of relationships among related elements and attributes and direct linking to related components,
- Structural Diagrams, showing the element hierarchy for a book, book part, and for complex elements,
- Tagging examples,
- Best practice recommendations,
- Implementation advice,
- Discussion of accessibility and the Tag Suite, and
- Pointers to (non-normative) downloadable versions of DTDs, XSDs, and RNGs that implement the NISO BITS Tag Sets.
