NCBI Book DTD and NCBI Collection DTD Tag Library version 2.3

<word-count>

Word Count

Definition

The approximate number of words that appear in a book or book component (such as a chapter)

Remarks

Many elements in this Suite were created explicitly for import conversion, that is, so that the intellectual work of tagging done by publishers would not be discarded when they converted material from another tag set to the NCBI Book Tag Sets. The count elements are a perfect example of this rationale; they are conversion elements and should only be tagged if present in the original source.

The count elements are modeled as EMPTY elements (that is, elements that have no content and store their real values in one or more attributes) because the majority of journal and book tag sets that were examined in the course of preparing this one used this mechanism, an inheritance of the older MAJOUR-header DTD.

Related Elements

Inside the <counts> wrapper element are the counts of various components of the book: the <fig-count> is the number of figures, the <table-count> is the number of tables, the <equation-count> is the number of equations, the <ref-count> is either the number of references or (more properly) the number of citations in the bibliographic reference list, the <page-count> is the number of pages the book occupied in a print publication, and the <word-count> is the number of words in the book.
