Description

The bibliocoverage element satisfies coverage element of the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative.

The Dublin Core defines coverage as “the extent or scope of the content of the resource.” It goes on to say:

Coverage will typically include spatial location (a place name or geographic coordinates), temporal period (a period label, date, or date range) or jurisdiction (such as a named administrative entity).
Recommended best practice is to select a value from a controlled vocabulary (for example, the Thesaurus of Geographic Names [TGN]) and that, where appropriate, named places or time periods be used in preference to numeric identifiers such as sets of coordinates or date ranges.

DocBook 4.2 added bibliocoverage, bibliorelation, and bibliosource to make the DocBook meta-information wrappers a complete superset of the Dublin Core.

Processing expectations

Formatted inline. Sometimes suppressed.

This element is used for both spatial and temporal coverage, but the intent is that only one is specified at a time. In other words, on any given instance of the bibliocoverage element, specify either a spatial or a temporal encoding, but not both.
