The bibliocoverage
element is equivalent to the
coverage element of the Dublin Core Metadata Element
Set [DCMI].
The Dublin Core defines coverage as “the extent or scope of the content of the resource.” It goes on to say:
Spatial topic and spatial applicability may be a named place or a location specified by its geographic coordinates. Temporal topic may be a named period, date, or date range. A jurisdiction may be a named administrative entity or a geographic place to which the resource applies.
Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the Thesaurus of Geographic Names Online [TGN]. Where appropriate, named places or time periods can be used in preference to numeric identifiers such as sets of coordinates or date ranges.
DocBook V4.2 added
bibliocoverage
, bibliorelation
,
and bibliosource
to make the DocBook meta-information
wrappers a superset of the Dublin Core.
Formatted inline. Sometimes suppressed.
This element is used for both spatial and temporal coverage, but
only one should be specified at a time. In other words, on any given
instance of the bibliocoverage
element, specify
either the spatial
attribute or
the temporal
attribute, but not
both.
