Subject: Re: [jats-list] <bio>: Contained in <contrib> or in <back> - which is better? From: "Beck, Jeff (NIH/NLM/NCBI) [E]" <beck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2012 16:52:05 -0500 |
Hi Bendte, I enjoyed your presentation during the opening session at JATS-Con last year. I hope to see you again in the fall. I agree with you to not cave in to sticking your <bio> in <author-notes>. If it is a bio, use <bio>. The first general advice I would give about making tagging decisions is don't throw away any information if you don't have to. And I would consider which <bio> goes with which <contrib> to be important information. Using an ID/IDREF between <contrib> and <bio> will make them just as related (or relatable) as if <bio> was a child of <contrib>. I'd suggest that if your vendor can handle <bio> in the <back> and display them in a way that you are satisfied with (including moving where you want them wrt the displayed contribs or at least building a link), you are safe to not insist on <bio> being a child of <contrib>. It is ok to "give in" to their tagging suggestion as long as you get what you really want - an explicit relationship between the contrib and bio in the XML and rendered document.
