It doesnbt make sense for book-parts anymore (but is allowed there). BITS (like JATS) changes based on user request. <page-count> is an empty element. BITS uses requested the ability to put data characters (#PCDATA) into the page count: bx14, 526, 299b, for example. There are many of us working very hard to keep JATS/BITS/NISO STS in sync. Because this change for BITS would have meant a fundamental change to one of the basic JATS models, BITS created a new element. Backward incompatibility is always a problem for production and you have my sympathy. > bTypeb-Attributes for <pub-date>: it has been @pub-type for a while (and is still valid for JATS), but has been changed to@publication-format for BITS (1.0 and 2.0). I know @publication-format is now available for JATS too, but it makes standardization more complicated. > Is there any reason for this? This is actually a fundamental change in JATS. The attribute @pub-type was just too semantically overloaded. You could (in the past) use the attribute to say the type of work: @pub-type=bjournalb @pub-type=breportb OR you could use it to say who published the work: @pub-type=bgovernmentb @pub-type="stds-bodyb OR you could use it to mention the publication format @pub-type=beBookb @pub-type=bonlineb But how would you tag a government report eBook? The JATS Standing Committee bit the bullet and made a backwards incompatible JATS change. What used to be the @pub-type attribute has been split in to 3 attributes: @publication-type (book, journal, patent, standard, etc.) @pub-format (ebook, print, online-only. etc.) @publisher-type (government, standards-body, corporate, etc.) JATS is richer now, and the @pub-type was left in place so that you do not have to change your backfile if there is not enough time/money/will to update this attribute. The @pub-type is deprecated because it is not as precise.
