Publication status
For a title where new chapters or articles are added gradually over time, capture a value in a custom-meta element to indicate this.

Capture a child meta-name element containing the value
publication-status
.
Include a second child element meta-value containing one of the following values:
-
in-progress
- for a title which is being added to, but will complete in the future -
continuous
- for a title which is being added to and will never complete
When a title with the status in-progress
is complete, change the value to previously in-progress
.
