Format or medium of the document (for example, print
). This element is used in two senses:
to describe the format/medium for a publication date or other lifecycle date such as an acceptance date or a revision date, and
to name the format/medium of the document being cited as part of a bibliographic reference.
For use in Dates: In this version of this Tag Set, there are two attributes that can be used to describe
history dates and publication dates. The @date-type attribute records the type of event in the lifecycle, such as accepted
, published
, or revised
dates. In addition, the @publication-format attribute records the type of format or media, for example, print
or electronic
, to which the event happened.
