Review of Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Joint Australian/

New Zealand Standards are subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue
of amendments or new editions as necessary. It is important therefore that Standards users
ensure that they are in possession of the latest edition, and any amendments thereto.
Full details of all Joint Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards
Australia and Standards New Zealand Catalogue of Publications; this information is
supplemented each month by the magazines ‘The Australian Standard’ and ‘Standards
New Zealand’, which subscribing members receive, and which give details of new
publications, new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggestions for improvements to Joint Standards, addressed to the head office of either
Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand, are welcomed. Notification of any
inaccuracy or ambiguity found in a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee IT/19,
Computer Applications in Information and Documentation.
This Standard is identical with, and has been reproduced from, ISO 12083:1994, Information and

The objective of this Standard is to provide authors, publishers and the library community with a set
of four document architectures in order to create and interchange books, articles and serial publications.
Users of this Standard are advised by Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand, under
arrangements made with ISO and IEC, as well as certain other Standards organizations, that the number
of this Standard is not reproduced on each page; its identity is shown only on the cover, inside front
cover and title pages.

1 Scope

This International Standard presents four document type definitions and additional facilities
conforming to ISO 8879. This International Standard is intended to provide document
architectures for the creation and interchange of books, articles and serial publications.

It specifies:

a) the SGML declaration defining the syntax used by the document type definitions and
document instances;

b) the document type definitions for the following document classes:

i) Books;

ii) Articles;

iii) Serials, which are collections of articles;

c) a document type definition for Mathematics which may be embedded in other SGML
applications.

This International Standard provides a toolkit for developers of these types of publications to
use as a basis for developing custom applications. The applications developed may be for
authors, publishers, libraries, their users, and/or their database vendors. The document type
definitions included in this International Standard have been designed to be flexible enough to
expand or limit markup depending on the use of the application. For example, if the
application is intended for authors, the copyright information could be removed. The markup
is sufficiently general to enable its use for similarly structured documents, e.g. the Book DTD
can also be used for technical reports.

2 Normative references

The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute
provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated
