Production notes #16

Open AndersEkl opened 1 year ago

Originally written by @AndersEkl

Should we include a common way to include production notes anywhere in the text?

Comment by @martinpub

In 2015-1, generic production notes were specified as <aside epub:type="z3998:production" class="prodnote">.

I think that the z3998 vocabulary is deprecated, and there is no corresponding term in EPUB-SSV 1.1. In the absence of a higer-level standardised term, we could of course use @epub:type with a prefixed value, like nordic:prodnote. This would be in line with the EPUB 3.2 spec. And the prefix is already declared in 2020-1 for package.opf use.

We might consider adding a "production notes" section to the front matter of the publication. This is probably nothing that will ever concern our suppliers, but if we decide to include this, it needs to be described and also allowed by the validation tool.

Just a side note, z3998:production is defined as "A temporary annotation not intended as part of the finished document, such as a production note", i.e. not meant to be included in the finished document. What we are after is more of an editor's note from the accessible production, meant to be preserved in the finished book.

Would this be used for image-descriptions that we add to the titles after markup as well? do we need to add something about that for #4 ?

This is prio 3, so nothing we are handling at the moment.
