<front-stub> Stub Front Metadata

Reduced set of metadata for use in <sub-article> and <response>, both of which are contained within an article. Any metadata not explicitly tagged in the front-stub is inherited from <article-meta> in the enclosing article.

Usage/Remarks

A front stub is used when a publisher or archive chooses not to repeat all the article metadata (such as the article publishing information or the issue metadata) for an embedded component such as a sub-article, but assigns that sub-article only the metadata (such as title, first page, and possibly contributor) that is particular to it, which it does not share with the main article. The assumption is that the sub-article will inherit any metadata elements from <article-meta> in the enclosing article that are not defined explicitly in the <front-stub>.
In this Tag Set, the possible metadata elements for the <front-stub> is very nearly the same as the possible metadata elements for the entire article (<article-meta> inside <article>). The two are so similar because, while the metadata for the stub will almost always contain many fewer elements, this Tag Set does not wish to predict which elements a given publisher or archive will leave out. It is a business decision how much metadata to place in a sub-article.
The difference between the two is that everything is optional in <front-stub>, since it is expected to be a small subset, while the metadata for the full article (<article-meta>) requires the elements <article-title> and <pub-date>.
