Alternate Title

Definition

An alternative or “different” version of a book title (or title of a book component such as a chapter), usually created so that it can be processed in a special way, for example, a short version of the title for use in a Table of Contents, an ASCII-only title for display on restricted devices, a right-running-head title for a print publication, etc.

Remarks

Conversion Note: This element should not be used for either the translated title <trans-title> (which is an alternative version of a title in another language) or the subtitle <subtitle> (which is an addition to the title).

Related Elements

There are several elements concerned with the title of a book, all contained within the wrapper element <book-title-group> in the book metadata. A similar container element <title-group> holds the titles within the metadata for a book component (<book-part-meta>). The <book-title> is the full title of the book in the original language of the document. The <title> is the full title of book component such as a chapter. The <subtitle> is a subordinate or auxiliary title that adds information to the full title or modifies the full title. The <alt-title> is another version of a title, usually created so that the title can be processed in a special way, for example, a short version of the title for use in a Table of Contents, an ASCII title, or a version of the title to be used in the right-running-head. The <trans-title> is a version of the title translated into a language other than the original language of publication; the <trans-subtitle> is a version of the subtitle translated into a language other than the original.
