Book skeleton

Capture collections and some books (when requested by OUP) as a skeleton XML file, with separate XML files for the chapters or articles they contain.

The skeleton XML file has a root book element, which contains:

Collection metadata
Book-level metadata
Front matter and back matter
Parts (groups of chapters or articles) if the book or collection is structured that way

For a book (without book-type="collection"), capture empty book-part elements as placeholders for the chapters. The id attribute of a placeholder must match the id of the chapter captured in full in its separate XML file.

Book skeleton with chapter placeholders

This example also illustrates grouping of chapters into a Part.

<book xml:lang="eng">
  <collection-meta><!-- ... --></collection-meta>
  <book-meta><!-- ... --></book-meta>
  <front-matter><!-- ... --></front-matter>
  <book-body>
    <book-part book-part-type="part" id="isbn-9780190936419-book-part-1">
      <!-- ... -->
    </book-part>
    <book-part book-part-type="part" id="isbn-9780190936419-book-part-8">
        <book-part-meta>
            <title-group>
                <label>Part 2</label>
                <title>Group of Chapters</title>
            </title-group>
            <contrib-group><!-- ... --></contrib-group>
        </book-part-meta>
        <front-matter><!-- ... --></front-matter>
        <body>
            <book-part id="isbn-9780190936419-book-part-9"/>
            <book-part id="isbn-9780190936419-book-part-10"/>
            <book-part id="isbn-9780190936419-book-part-11"/>
            <book-part id="isbn-9780190936419-book-part-12"/>
            <book-part id="isbn-9780190936419-book-part-13"/>
            <book-part id="isbn-9780190936419-book-part-14"/>
        </body>
    </book-part>
    <!-- ... -->
  </book-body>
  <book-back><!-- ... --></book-back>
</book>

Book skeleton for a collection

This example also illustrates a Part structure used for grouping articles.

There are no placeholder references to the articles. The individual article XML files will include links to the parent Part (see Chapters and Articles).

<book xml:lang="eng" book-type="collection">
  <collection-meta><!-- ... --></collection-meta>
  <book-meta><!-- ... --></book-meta>
  <book-body>
    <book-part book-part-type="part" id="isbn-9780190936419-book-part-1">
      <!-- ... -->
    </book-part>
    <book-part book-part-type="part" id="isbn-9780190936419-book-part-8">
        <book-part-meta>
            <title-group>
                <label>Part 2</label>
                <title>Group of Articles</title>
            </title-group>
            <contrib-group><!-- ... --></contrib-group>
        </book-part-meta>
    </book-part>
    <!-- ... -->
  </book-body>
</book>
