Hi Wendell,

IQ Solutions has a somewhat-similar use case where sections of a publication
(either JATS or BITS) are repurposed into a mobile app. In our case, it's
handled through a set of pseudo-namespaced elements (clientname:).  We use a
unique metadata group that allows multiple mobile apps to be defined, and then
use a container element that includes "chunk-specific" metadata and allows
sec, p, table, fig, list, etc. as children to identify the actual portion of
text that's excerpted.

Subject: [jats-list] Related objects inside sec-meta

Hi,

Using BITS, I have a defined relationship between fragments of XML at the sec
level (could also be an app) and a set of external objects.
(In this case they are items in a kind of DITA-map-like thing, which allocates
contents of the XML fragments into larger combinations that do not necessarily
correspond to the arrangement of the sources.)

I'm thinking about inserting a related-object into the XML (sec or app as the
case may be), which seems like it could sorta be for this, and sec-meta, which
is valid in either of sec or app. But related-object is not valid directly
inside sec-meta.

Is my solution to sneak the related-object in somehow, to extend the DTD to
permit what I want, or to use a different element to express this relation?
BITS 1.0 sec-meta has only

((contrib-group)*, (abstract)*, (kwd-group)*, permissions?)

which doesn't offer up anything obvious for "identifier of some other
publication, which includes/calls this section".

Ideas?

Thanks! Wendell
