Bookmap metadata elements

The Bookmap specialization of ditamap supports standard book production for collections of DITA topics. This section contains the metadata elements used by bookmap to store book-related metadata.

note

The OASIS document type for the bookmap specialization includes the xNAL domain specialization for describing the author or authors of a document. All elements that appear in that domain (the <authorinformation> element and all of its descendants) are described in the xNAL domain section, rather than in this bookmap metadata section.
  1. <bookmeta>
    The <bookmeta> element contains information about the book that is not considered book content, such as copyright information, author information, and any classifications.
  2. <approved>
    The <approved> element contains information about when and by whom the book was approved during its publication history.
  3. <bookchangehistory>
    The <bookchangehistory> element contains information about the history of the book's creation and publishing lifecycle, including who wrote, reviewed, edited, and tested the book. It also specifies when these events took place.
  4. <bookevent>
    The <bookevent> element indicates a general event in the publication history of a book. This is an appropriate element for specialization if the current set of specific book event types does not meet your needs. If an element already exists to describe a specific type of event, such as <reviewed>, <edited>, or <approved>, use that element instead.
  5. <bookeventtype>
    The <bookeventtype> element indicates the specific nature of a <bookevent>, such as updated, indexed, or deprecated. The required @name attribute indicates the event's type.
  6. <bookid>
    The <bookid> element contains the publisher's identification information for the book, such as part number, edition number and ISBN number.
  7. <booknumber>
    The <booknumber> element contains the book's form number, such as SC21-1920.
  8. <bookowner>
    The <bookowner> element specifies the owner of the book's copyright.
  9. <bookpartno>
    The <bookpartno> element contains the book's part number, such as 99F1234. A publisher might use a number like this one to identify a book for tracking purposes.
  10. <bookrestriction>
    The <bookrestriction> element indicates whether the book is classified or restricted in some way. The @value attribute indicates any restrictions on the use of the material, such as declaring the information confidential or for licensed use only.

    The <bookrights> element contains the information about the legal rights associated with the book, including copyright dates and owners.
  12. <completed>
    The <completed> element indicates a completion date for some type of book event, such as a review, editing, or testing.
  13. <copyrfirst>

  25. <publisherinformation>
    The <publisherinformation> contains information about what group or person published the book, where it was published, and certain details about its publication history. Other publication history information is found in the <bookchangehistory> element.
