<book-meta>

Book Metadata

Metadata components which pertain to a book as a whole, for example, the book title, volume, and ISBN for a work such as a monograph, encyclopedia, reference volume, etc.

Related Elements

A book <book> may be divided into four parts:

  1. the <book-meta> (the book metadata or header information);
  2. the <book-front> (textual material that precedes the actual contents of a book, for example, author biographical information or a preface);
  3. the <body> (textual and graphical content of the book); and
  4. any <back> (ancillary information such as a glossary, reference list, or appendix).

The <book-meta> element is used for metadata relevant to an entire book, whereas the <book-part-meta> element is used for metadata concerning a book component such as a chapter or part.
