Re: [jats-list] Differences between JATS, BITS 1.0 and BITS 2.0

Dear Franziska --

Sigh. I was wrong. BITS does not allow <page-count> at all. I am sorry to have
misinformed you.

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.

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:

> 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 bBook-level Page Countb) may have content that describes
the types of pages and the number of each. For example:

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.
