Core TCIs
Used for all of the products on the new OUP platform, the core TCIs explain common rules for the OUP data model. Product-specific TCIs extend the more general instructions contained in the core TCIs.

OUP XML must follow stylistic conventions that include no leading whitespace (no pretty printing) and placing the punctuation outside semantic elements.
XML documents begin with an XML header declaration which identifies the OUP DTD using the DOCTYPE.
Most elements have an id attribute. Some elements have a doi attribute, for a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) which provides a permanent public reference to content.
Capture metadata on the root level (in bookMeta, docMeta, regMeta, caseMeta, or, if chapter or e are the root, in metaInfo). Capture metadata also at the lower levels chapter, e, and part within books in a metaInfo. Capture metadata on miscMatter, bibliography, and appendix using metaInfo if they are in the frontMatter or endMatter.
To update existing XML you must ensure that id values are maintained correctly.
The DOCTYPE declaration specifies a root element. Capture manuscripts by following the DOCTYPE declaration with the appropriate root element.
The front matter comprises the prelim pages, which are usually paginated using Roman numerals. Capture all front matter for books in a frontMatter element. End matter includes appendices, bibliographies, and indexes, tagged using appendixGroup, bibliographyGroup and indexGroup, respectively. Capture any other front or end matter using the miscMatterGroup element.
Bibliographies consist of one or more lists of references or an essay of references, and generally appear in the front matter or end matter of a book, or at the end of a chapter or article. References must be identified, classed, and marked up with additional attributes.
Instructions on low-level structural elements, attributes, and processing-instructions such as IDs, divisions of text, headings, cross-references, lists, and graphics.
