Oxford University Press Text Capture Instructions

 

Book root element

For Chaptered works and A-Z Reference Works, use the book element as the root node when you create complete titles. This allows for the front content, end content, and letter sets.

The root element book must have id and doi attributes values.

/book

Within books, capture front and end matter as well as the main text.

Sub-topics

  1. Multi-volume titles

    There are two types of multi-volume work. Either each volume has its own ISBN, or there is a single ISBN and the printed book is split into volumes for reasons of length.

  2. Parts and chapters (chaptered works)

    Capture the main text of an OxChapML document in a mainText element and divide it into chapters. Chapters can be grouped into parts, which may themselves be grouped.

  3. Parts and entries (A-Z Reference Works)

    For A-Z Reference Works, capture the main part of the book, the A-Z content, in a mainText element and divide it into parts and entries.

  4. Diaries

    Diaries may consist of individual entries, groups of entries or continuous prose.

  5. Letters

    The layout of letters varies between editions and should be captured using div[1-7,N] structures as suggested by the layout.

  6. Stage plays

    Capture stage plays with particular note to the structure of acts and scenes.
