Oxford University Press BITS Typecodes

This is separate from the Glossary Term and Glossary Definition codes used specifically to mark terms and definitions when they appear together in either a Definition Feature or Glossary.

When a Running Glossary Term links to a glossary term within the current chunk (article, chapter, or other book part), the typecode maps to an xref element in the XML.

When a Running Glossary Term links to a glossary term outside of the current piece of content (for example, a Running Glossary Term in a chapte referring to a glossary term in the end matter), the typecode maps to a related-object element.

This is similar to the difference between Internal and External cross-references.

Typecoded Manuscript:

Map to xref if the target is in the same chapter (or front matter section, appendix, etc.). Otherwise, use related-object.

//xref[@ref-type="glossary-term"]
//related-object[@object-type="glossary-term"]

OxChapML XPath

//xrefGrp[@role="definition"]/xref
