Stub Front Metadata

A reduced set of metadata for use in <sub-article>s and <response>s, both of which are contained within an article.

The idea of a front stub is that a publisher or archive may choose not to repeat all the article metadata (journal metadata, issue metadata, etc.) for an embedded component, but only assign a sub-article that metadata (such as title, first page, and possibly contributor) that is particular to it and is not shared with the main article. The assumption is that the sub-articles will inherit any metadata from <article-meta> in the enclosing article that is not defined in the <front-stub>.

Remarks

In this Tag Set, the possible metadata elements for the <front-stub> is very nearly the same as the possible metadata elements for the entire article (<article-meta> inside <article>). The two are so similar because, while the metadata for the stub will almost always contain many fewer elements, this Tag Set does not wish to predict which elements a given publisher or archive will leave out. It is a business decision how much metadata to place in a sub-article.

The difference between the two is that everything is optional in <front-stub>, since it is expected to be a small subset, while the metadata for the full article (<article-meta>) requires the elements <article-title> and <pub-date>.
