<title> title

Description:

Title of a bibliographic entity. The type attribute may be used to classify the title according to some convenient typology. Sample values include: main (main title), subordinate (subtitle, title of part), abbreviated (abbreviated form of title), alternative (alternate title by which the work is also known), translated (translated form of title), uniform (collective title). The type attribute is provided for convenience in analysing titles and processing them according to their type; where such specialized processing is not necessary, there is no need for such analysis, and the entire title, including subtitles and any parallel titles, may be enclosed within a single <title> element. Title parts may be encoded in <title> sub-elements. The name of the list from which a controlled value is taken may be recorded using the authority attribute. This element is modelled on an element in the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI).

Attributes:

• authority, optional, CDATA contains the name of the list from which an authorized value is taken.

• dbkey, optional, xs:NMTOKEN used to record a value which serves as a primary key in an external database.

• facs, optional, xs:IDREFS permits the current element to reference a facsimile image or image zone which corresponds to it.

• level, optional, xs:token, a, m, j, s, u indicates whether this is the title of an article, monograph, journal, series, or unpublished material.

• n, optional, xs:NMTOKEN provides a label (name or number) for an element. While its value need not be unique, it is required to be a single token.

• nymref, optional, xs:IDREF used to record a pointer to the regularized form of the name.

• role, optional, CDATA used to specify further information about the entity referenced by this name, for example, the occupation of a person or the status of a place.

• subtype, optional, xs:NMTOKEN provide any sub-classification for the element, additional to that given by its type attribute.

• type, optional, xs:NMTOKEN characterizes the element in some sense, using any convenient classification scheme or typology.

• xml:id, optional, xs:ID regularizes the naming of an element and thus facilitates building links between it and other resources. Each id attribute within a document must have a unique value.

• xml:lang, optional, xs:language identifies the language of the word or text phrase marked. The values for this attribute are language 'tags' as defined in BCP 47. All language tags that make use of private use subtags must be documented in a corresponding language element in the MEI header whose id attribute is the same as the language tag's value.
