<supplementary-material>

Supplementary Material

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

Remarks

Supplementary material has been defined to include all of the following:

Usage. The element is used in two senses:

Typing. 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>), with the caption/preview placed in a manner similar to a <fig> and a cross-reference made to the material from the text.

Conversion Note: The <supplementary-material> 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.

Related Elements

This Suite contains several elements to describe non-XML material: <graphic>, <inline-graphic>, <media>, <supplementary-material>, and <inline-supplementary-material>. The elements <graphic> and <inline-graphic> are used for still images, i.e., photographs, diagrams, etc. The distinction between the other elements is more subtle. The element <media> should be used for movies, audio clips, or media in other formats which are intrinsic to the document’s content, that is, the media object is discussed within the document. The elements <supplementary-material> and <inline-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.

Use <inline-supplementary-material> 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. Conversely, use <supplementary-material> for a more complicated reference, where the supplementary material resembles a figure in that it can be positioned as a floating or anchored object and may take a caption.
