<supplementary-material>

Supplementary Material

Definition

Additional data files that contain information directly supportive of the document, for example, an audio clip, movie, database, spreadsheet, applet, or other external file

This element has a similar function to the <audiovisual> element in some XML tag sets and the <unprinted-item> element (used only for electronic files) in other tag sets.

Remarks

The element is used in two senses: first, inside the article front matter as an alert to the existence of supplementary material; and second, as part of the textual flow, where it is similar to a <fig>, in that it can be positioned as a floating or anchored object and may take a caption.

For the second usage, the position attribute may be used to indicate whether this element must be anchored at its exact location within the text or whether it may float, for example, to the top of the next page, into the next column, to the end of a logical file, or within a separate window. The mimetype attribute may be used to identify a file type for a <supplementary-material> element.

The <supplementary-material> element may contain a preview image (e.g., the first frame of a movie, tagged as a <graphic> or <media> inside a paragraph). A cross-reference can be made to the supplementary material (and preview) from the text.

Related Elements

This Suite contains several elements to describe non-XML material: <graphic>, <inline-graphic>, <media>, and <supplementary-material>. The elements <graphic> and <inline-graphic> are used for “still” images, i.e., photographs, diagrams, etc. The distinction between the two other elements is more subtle. The element <media> should be used for movies, audio clips, or media in other formats which is intrinsic to the document’s content, that is, the media object is discussed within the document. The element <supplementary-material> should be used for films, audio clips, or other material which enhances a document, but which is not discussed as part of the document.

See <inline-supplementary-material> for a simpler form that can be used to mark up text references to supplementary material where the reference appears in the regular flow of the text and does not have a preview image or separate caption.
