Remarks

The title sub-element records the series title, the respStmt element records the person or group responsible for the series, and the identifier element contains a series identifier. The contents element should be used when it is necessary to enumerate the content of the series, but not describe each component. The seriesStmt element is provided within seriesStmt for the description of a sub-series. This element is modelled on an element in the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) standard.
