Article Metadata

Definition

Metadata is (loosely) “data about the data”. The metadata for an article is information concerning the article, for example, bibliographic data such as authorship, article title, copyright year, and publication date; descriptive material such as keywords and abstracts; or any article identifying numbers. The article metadata is not part of the body text or graphics of the article proper, but serves to identify or describe the article.

Remarks

Some journal DTDs/schemas identify three types of metadata: that concerning the specific article, that concerning the journal, and that concerning the issue of the journal that contains the article. In this Tag Set, the metadata for the issue and the article has been placed together inside the <article-meta> and the journal metadata into the <journal-meta> element.

Related Elements

Older, MAJOUR-style journal DTDs split the metadata in a journal article into three categories: journal metadata, article metadata, and issue metadata. In this Suite, the metadata specific to the journal is within the element Journal Metadata <journal-meta> and the metadata specific both to the article and to the particular issue of the journal (if any) is within the Article Metadata <article-meta> element.
