Sort of. I left out some details from my description, but add them here because similar techniques are being put into use not only in libraries but in other organizations as well. In our slang, there is a host record describing the book, and component part records describing the poem, article, image or any other thing in the book. There is a bidirectional link between host and component part records. Similar linking techniques are in use when libraries describe for instance serials and serial articles and CDs & tracks in them. The work level record of a poem, track, article or any other component part will be linked directly to the the component part record. Persistent identifiers are required in all levels, and there can be several of them - for instance, a periodical articles often have embedded images. These component parts are sometimes components only in logical sense. Each track or article may be available as a separate file. But if a file contains many component resources, the file syntax may reveal this internal structure. For instance, when the National Library of Finland digitizes serials we often create structured METS/ALTO XML files where encoding shows the logical structure of the issue. > That is an instruction about the component > of the book, not what I think would normally be considered > "metadata about the book".

METS/ALTO encoding commonly used for digitized textual resources can do a lot. Not only can we encode articles, but also chapters, pages, paragraphs etc.; it is also possible to describe the font and size of each OCR'd character - and provide the probability of the correctness of the OCR result for each character. > > > While the distinctions are real, the details may be a matter of > convention.

Table of contents (and abstract) is often provided as metadata for non-fiction books. So it is possible to find for instance an article within a book even if there is no separate metadata record for it. Whether it is possible to provide a direct link to such article depends on the encoding of the (text) file. Rich encoding takes time, but serves the users well. > > Is that just about right?
