[jats-list] Page range coding for books

["Jan Driesen jan.driesen@xxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We want to code book-metadata / books (in BITS) that are numbered partially in
roman numerals (TOC, introduction, ...) and after that arab numerals, which
restart from 1.
When describing the extent of the book in the books' metadata, such is
normally done as: vi+100
This means the book has vi (6) pages numbered in roman numerals (pages i to
vi) and 100 pages numbered in arab numerals (pages 1 to 100). In total the
book has 106 pages (so 106 could be the /book/book-meta/counts/page-count).
An example (non affiliated):
https://books.google.be/books?id=uVoOZyqE5o4C&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q
&f=false showing vii+337 pages

What would be the appropriate way to tag such data?


Many thanks,


Jan Driesen
