[osis-core] 6.3.5 Publisher rewritten

Mon, 17 Nov 2003 11:28:55 -0500

Guys,

How does the following grab you?

************
<head><hi rend='bold'>publisher</hi></head> <p>Publisher element
in the work element is used to indentify the publisher of a particular
work.  If a work was published by more than one publisher and that
publication record needs to be recorded, use multiple publisher
elements and distinguish them using the <hi rend="bold">type</hi>
attribute. The description given in this attribute is not constrained
but it is suggested that values that tie a publisher to a particular
edition, such as &lt;publisher type="1848Edition"&gt; should be
used. For cases where full identification of a publication history is
essential, use of multiple work elements is suggested.</p>
************

Allows for the case where you want minimal information about different 
editions but also allows for fuller reporting.

Comments?

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick
