[jats-list] Tagging article series across issues

["Randall, Laura (NIH/NLM/NCBI) [E]" <laura.randall@xxxxxxx>]

Hello, all.

Does anyone know if the JATS has a way to tag series information
in an article's metadata that applies to a series that isn't limited to a
single issue?

I know about <series-title> and <series-text> in
<article-categories>, but the definition of <series-title> clearly states that
it only applies to a series within a single issue of a journal.
http://jats.nlm.nih.gov/publishing/tag-library/1.0/?elem=series-title
"Title
of the journal series (bibliographic) or series of articles internal to one
issue of a journal"

We're working with a publisher who identifies "Research
Topics" in some of their articles and then provides a summary and a list of
the articles on that topic. Here's one example:
http://www.frontiersin.org/Systems_Biology/researchtopics/From_structural_to_
molecular_s/513

<series-title> was my first thought, but these articles span
publication units (they don't actually have issues at all), so they don't
really qualify.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Laura
