  • 1.  questions about metadata elements

    pubMetaElem.dita 
talks about:
    author, publisher, copyright
    

     
    

    mgtMetaElem.dita 
talks about:
    source, critdates, permissions, resourceid
    

     
    

    metaQualElem.dita 
talks about:
    audience, category, keywords, prodinfo, othermeta, 
data
    

     
    

    These are the only 
*Elem.dita topic files. The following are not mentioned in them:
    

     
    

    metadata, data-about, 
foreign, unknown
    linktext, searchtitle, 
shortdesc
    authorinformation
    navtitle, exportanchors
    

     
    

    Are they discussed elsewhere in the Architecture Spec? If 
not, should they be treated on a par with the above as metadata elements? Or are 
they set aside for a reason?

    topicmeta is the 
union of prolog and metadata,
    plus children of metadata
    plus linktext, 
searchtitle, shortdesc, navtitle, exportanchors
    (and in bookmap: plus authorinformation as 
alternative to author)

    As to including metadata as a peer of its own children, 
isn't backward compatibility wonderful!  !->

    I should have 
said

    topicmeta is the union of prolog 
and metadata (that is, children of prolog plus children of metadata),
    plus 
metadata itself
    plus linktext, searchtitle, shortdesc, navtitle, 
exportanchors
    (in bookmap: plus authorinformation as alternative to 
author)

    Anyway, the question is about 
those ten metadata(-ish) elements that are not discussed with the others in 
*.Elem.dita files.
