RE: [jats-list] JATS 1.0: Seemingly contradictory usage recommendations for <series-text> and <series-title>

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

I definitely see the discrepancy, but I don't see them as contradictory.
Sasha, I would expand your emphasis in the Remarks of <series> thus:
<series-text> and <series-title> are used to identify a collection
   of
articles *within an issue or a collection of similar articles
   across
multiple issues*

So we're looking at one that says "within one issue" and one
that says "within an issue or a collection of similar articles across multiple
issues."  One covers more options than the other, I don't see them as
contradicting each other.

Still, it would be good to have the expanded usage
documented in <article-categories>.
Best,
Laura

Subject: [jats-list] JATS 1.0: Seemingly
contradictory usage recommendations for <series-text> and <series-title>

The
Related Elements section of the <article-categories> entry in
the JATS 1.0 Tag
Library states:

   Grouping Articles in Series: The related elements
<series-title>
   and <series-text> are used for groupings of articles *within
one
   issue of a journal*. For example, in some journals, articles are
grouped into a series such as From the Cover and identified as
   part of a
series. The <series-title> element names the series, and
   the <series-text>
element provides textual descriptions (if any)
   describing the series.
(Emphasis mine -- SS)

However, the Remarks section for the <series> entry
states:

   <series-text> and <series-title> are used to identify a collection
of articles within an issue *or a collection of similar articles
   across
multiple issues*. For example, a single issue of a journal
   may contain
numerous colloquium papers that can be identified as
   part of a series by
including <series-title>Colloquium</series-
   title> in each articles
metadata. An example of a series that
   spans issues is the Inaugural
Article series in PNAS. These
   articles from newly-elected members of the
National Academy of
   Sciences are all part of the same series, but appear in
different
   issues of the journal. (Emphasis mine -- SS)

This seems
contradictory: should the usage of <series-title> and
<series-text> be
restricted to article groupings/collections
within one journal issue only or
can these elements be used for
such grouping spanning multiple journal issues?
