Dear Franziska The BITS committee is doing its best to balance competing requirements: 1. being as compatible with JATS as possible 2. modeling books, which are much larger, more varied, and more complex than journal articles. Sometimes this means that there are compromises. It may help for you to know that one of the goals of the BITS model is that a JATS article should be able to become a BITS <book-part> with minimum changes. The equivalence is between <article> and <book-part> not between <article> and <book>. This means that there are quite a few structures at the <book> level that are different from those in JATS <article>s. In the case of <page-count> and <book-page-count>, the differences are because for journal articles page count is a simple number. The element is empty and the number of pages is conveyed as an attribute value: <page-count count="6"/> The page count of a book may be much more complex, and the committee decided this complexity should be modeled in the metadata. So, <book-page-count> (which is called Book-level Page Count) may have content that describes the types of pages and the number of each. For example: <book-page-count count="336">vi+330</book-page-count> Book parts (which are the analog to JATS <article>s) can have <page-count>s. As for @pub-type, use of @pub-type has been deprecated (meaning, use is discouraged because it has been replaced by something better and it is likely to be removed in a future version of the standard). You might find it useful to read the first paragraph on page: http://jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.1/attribute/pub-type.html Since JATS had already deprecated @pub-type when BITS was developed, BITS adopted the preferred model from JATS. This was so that BITS users would not experience disruption when @pub-type is removed from a future version. I hope that helps.
