Document Hierarchy Diagrams

This section contains diagrams of document structures defined by both the NCBI Collection Tag Set, the NCBI Book Tag Set, and base Suite modules. Diagrams for the NCBI Collection Tag Set’s “top-most” element Collection and the major structure specific to this tag set (i.e., Collection Metadata) are displayed first. Diagrams for the NCBI Book Tag Set’s “top-most” element Book and the major structure unique to it (i.e., Book Metadata) follow, after which are diagrams for major structures found in both Tag Sets: Book Front Matter, Body of the Book, and Back Matter. The contents of each major structure are diagrammed, followed by diagrams of structures commonly used throughout the two Tag Sets and base Suite such as Figure, List, and Table Wrapper. (Because these “common” structures are used in a variety of models, they are presented in alphabetical order, rather than hierarchically.) The diagrams are presented in the following order:

Collection Structures

Collection Metadata Structures

Book Structures

Book Metadata Structures

Book Front Matter Structures

Body of the Book Structures

Back Matter Structures

Common Structures

The diagrams are screen captures of the NCBI Collection Tag Set, NCBI Book Tag Set, and base Suite modules as displayed by the Near & Far® Designer tool. The conventions of the Near & Far® format are described in the following section.
