Subject: [jats-list] BITS suggestion: make nav-pointer/@rid implied From: Alexander Schwarzman <aschwarzman@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:27:41 -0500 |
It appears that BITS model for 'nav-pointer' attributes is overly restrictive: it requires a @rid. In case when an existing back-of-the-book index is being digitized, it seems unreasonable to require the tagger to find the indexing term in the text and place an @id on it to serve as the target of the @rid. Thus, it seems to me that in tagging the existing indexes <index-entry> <term>Benefit relationship</term> <nav-pointer rid="idx14" nav-pointer-type="point">233</nav-pointer> </index-entry> could do without @rid, i.e., <index-entry> <term>Benefit relationship</term> <nav-pointer nav-pointer-type="point">233</nav-pointer> </index-entry> If this is so, then: <!-- NAVIGATION POINTER ATTRIBUTES --> <!-- Attributes for the <nav-pointer> element. --> <!ENTITY % nav-pointer-atts "id ID #IMPLIED rid IDREF #REQUIRED nav-pointer-type (end-of-range | point | start-of-range) #IMPLIED xml:lang NMTOKEN #IMPLIED content-type CDATA #IMPLIED specific-use CDATA #IMPLIED" > from BITS-toc-index-nav0.ent would become: <!-- NAVIGATION POINTER ATTRIBUTES --> <!-- Attributes for the <nav-pointer> element. --> <!ENTITY % nav-pointer-atts "id ID #IMPLIED rid IDREF #IMPLIED nav-pointer-type (end-of-range | point | start-of-range) #IMPLIED xml:lang NMTOKEN #IMPLIED content-type CDATA #IMPLIED specific-use CDATA #IMPLIED" > Also, Example 2 for <see-entry> in the BITS Tag Library is identical to Example 1. Example 2 is supposed to contain page numbers but it does not. Finally, it might be helpful if the Tag Library contained examples of using @id on 'index-entry and @rid on 'see-entry' and 'see-also-entry' in case one wants to effect a link to a preferred or a related term.
