<article-version-alternatives>
Article Current Version Alternatives
A container element to hold multiple <article-version> elements, when a single article has more than one simultaneous version identifier and all should be recorded. For example, an article may be described with both a NISO-RP-8-2008 JAV version phrase and a publisher or aggregator version number.
Remarks
A single article should
be given only a single version identifier in any given system. This alternatives element is intended to hold version identifiers from different systems that all apply to an article at the same time.
JAV and Other Version-naming Schemes Best Practice: A publisher wishing to use NISO JAV or any other formal versioning vocabulary/ontology, should name the vocabulary using the @vocab attribute and provide a URI or other identifier for the vocabulary using the @vocab-identifier attribute. The @vocab-term attribute can provide the term source canonical version, if the element content does not, and the @vocab-term-identifier attribute may point to the term, if appropriate. For example:
<article-version-alternatives>
<article-version
article-version-type="version-of-record"
vocab="NISO-RP-8-2008"
vocab-identifier="https://www.niso.org/publications/rp/RP-8-2008.pdf"
/>
<article-version
article-version-type="done"
vocab="mulberry-ontology"
vocab-term="finished">Finished</article-version>
