Series Metadata

The <collection-meta>-element is used to specify the series information of a title that is published in a book-series. In general, this information is printed on page ii of the printed version. The following table gives an overview of the elements that are used to specify this information in XML. Next an example is given. See the BITS 2.0 tag library for a full description of elements and attributes.

element	attribute(s)	required	description
<collection-meta>	collection-type	YES	attribute value: "series" or "sub-series". In case of "sub-series", two <collection-meta>-elements are used to specify the information on the series and on the sub-series level.
<collection-id>	@collection-id-type	YES	An Brill identifier, that your Brill Desk Editor will supply. @collection-id-type="publisher" required.
<title-group>		YES	title and - if applicable - subtitle of the series. In case of a translated title, a <trans-title-goup> is added within the <title-group> element with <trans-title> and <trans-subtitle>. Note that only one <subtitle>-element is allowed (see Multiple subtitle lines).
<title>		YES
<subtitle>		NO
<contrib-group>		YES
<contrib>	contrib-type deceased equal-contrib	YES NO NO	Values for the @contrib-type are: "series editor" (default, unless specifically identified as one of the other types on the page/by the Brill Desk Editor),"editor-in-chief", "founding editor", "managing editor", "associate editor", "technical editor", "editorial board/council member", "advisory editor", "copy editor", "translator" @deceased="yes" is added in case the contributor is deceased. @equal-contrib="yes" can be added in case the contributor whom this attribute modifies contributed equally with all other contributors.
<collab>		NO	A group of authors, but referred to only as a group, for example a consortium or an institute, like the UN. If <collab> is used, <name> is not required.
<name>	name-style xml:lang	YES NO	The name of the contributor is specified with a combination of the elements <surname>, <given-names>, <prefix> and <suffix>. @name-style has the values "eastern" (The name will both be displayed and sorted/inverted with the family name preceding the given name), "western" (Default, the name will be displayed with the given name preceding the family name, but will be sorted/inverted with the family name preceding the given name), "given-only": The single name provided is a given name, not a family name/surname. The single name will be both the sort and the display name. If an author has only a single name, name-style="eastern" and tag the single name with <surname>.
<name-alternatives>		NO	In case of an alternative name or names in a different language or script, a <name-alternatives>-group can be included, containing again <name>-element(s) (see above) and/or <string-name>-element(s) for each alternative name. In such a case, the @xml:lang is added to specify the language of the alternative name.
<contrib-id>	contrib-id-type authenticated	NO NO	<contrib-id> is only required in case an ORCID-number is available: @contrib-id-type="orcid". Use @authenticated="true" in case the ORCID number is indeed authenticated. Editorial Manager does this by default. Note that the complete URL should be specified, for example: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1825-0097.
<xref>	ref-type rid		A cross-reference for each contributor to an affiliation, specified in the next section, @ref-type="aff". Default format of the @rid is "AFFnnnnnn": AFF + a 6-digit sequential numbering, starting with "000001"
<aff>	id	NO	information for each <xref>-element in the <contrib>-elements. The value of @id is equal to the value of @rid used in the <xref>-elements above.
<institution-wrap>
<institution>	content-type	YES	Name of an institution or organization, like Universiteit Leiden or Universiteit van Amsterdam. This information is provided by Brill, but it must be checked. This element can also contain the name of the department, like Leiden University Centre for Linguistics. Provide this value with a @content-type="dept".
<institution-id>	institution-id-type	NO	Brill only supports Ringgold identifiers: @institution-id-type="ringgold"
<country>		NO	The country the institution is located in.
<volume-in-collection>		YES
<volume-number>		YES
<issn>	publication-format	YES	publication-format="print" is required. If available, a second <issn>-element should be added with publication-format="online"
