base-tagset Base Tag Set Name

Which of the JATS standard tag sets is the basis for this document?

Usage/Remarks

Until Version 1.3 of JATS, @dtd-version was a #FIXED attribute, set in the schema/DTD, that could not be changed by the JATS user. It was intended to name the highest-level version of JATS to which the document was valid. Being #FIXED meant that the attribute was always there, even if it was not present in the document.
Since the @dtd-version attribute has never provided a complete description of which version of the tag set a document is associated with, several attributes were added to the <processing-meta> element to describe the version choices more fully:
@tagset-family
Which of the JATS tag set families is the basis for this document’s tag set? (e.g., “jats” or “bits”)
@base-tagset
Which of the JATS standard tag sets is the basis for this document? (e.g., “publishing” or “archiving”)
@table-model
Which table model is used by the tag set for this document? (e.g., “xhtml” or “oasis”)
@mathml-version
Which version of MathML is used by the tag set for this document? (e.g., “3.0” or “2.0”)
OPTIONAL on element: <processing-meta>
