Hi
I'm working on documentation to standardise DocBook usage for an
academic publisher for (mostly) humanities and social science titles,
and am using DocBook Publisher as my starting point. Most of the time
I'm simply enforcing @role values in our local customisation layer.
The plan is to use this for backlist conversion as well as an XML first
workflow in the near future.
I'd be interested to know how people have marked up some prelims
content, especially book series data (ie metadata about the <book> not
any bibliographic references therein).
Initially, I was thinking of something like this:
<bibliomisc role="series">
<phrase role="seriesVolNo">10</phrase>
<phrase role="seriesISSN">1234-5678</phrase>
<phrase role="seriesName">The Library of Aramaic Studies</phrase>
</bibliomisc>
but am also aware that sometimes the half title verso (or even the half
title itself) includes more comprehensive series data, or lists of
related titles. How have other people resolved this? I've seen this kind
of thing in some book/info examples:
<cover role="halfTitleVerso">
<bibliolist>
<bibliomisc role="series">
<phrase role="seriesVolNo">10</phrase>
<phrase role="seriesISSN">1234-5678</phrase>
<phrase role="seriesName">The Library of Aramaic Studies</phrase>
<!-- Lots more bibl details etc -->
</bibliomisc>
</bibliolist>
</cover>
Does this seem reasonable, or are there more standard methods that users
have adopted?
Thanks
Brad
