NIMAC Metadata Guidelines

May 21, 2024

Introduction: Welcome to the NIMAC!

This guide includes information on how to supply metadata in your NIMAS file sets.
Metadata for NIMAS is only provided in the OPF of the file set.
- Only the prescribed metadata tags included in this document can be accepted in NIMAS files. Please do not use other tags.
- Please do not supply metadata in <head> tags of the XML (not valid for NIMAS).
Following the guidelines below will help ensure that the metadata supplied with the files are complete, accurate, and properly formatted.
Files submitted with incomplete metadata may fail to upload to the system, so providing metadata correctly can help avoid delays in upload and certification of your content.
Please contact the NIMAC (nimac@aph.org) at any time if you have questions.

NIMAC Metadata Guidance (Elements in Alphabetical Order)

Content Type

OPF element:

<meta name="DCTERMS.description.note" content=""/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Guidelines:

This element reflects one of four types of content supplied to the NIMAC.
Choose the option that best describes the content of the book:

Textbook – Used for student books that provide instructional content in a given subject area.

Consumable – Used for workbooks, lab manuals, and practice books. These are items that are intended to be used by only one student and then discarded.

Supplementary reading material – Used for stand-alone “story books” published to support a reading curriculum.

Digital instructional material – Used for material that is supplied to students in a digital format in the classroom (as opposed to hard copy print books).

Other – Used for materials that do not fit into another category (for example, blackline masters). This category should always be used for incomplete file sets that include only the student-facing pages from teacher ancillaries.

Examples:

<meta name="DCTERMS.description.note" content="Textbook"/>
<meta name="DCTERMS.description.note" content="Consumable"/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Copyright Date

OPF Element:

<meta name="DCTERMS.date.dateCopyrighted" content=""/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Guidelines:

This element reflects the copyright date of the print book.
If the copyright statement includes more than one date, use the most recent.
If no copyright date is found on the print book and the publisher has not supplied a date, please use the publication year.

Example:

<meta name="DCTERMS.date.dateCopyrighted" content="2017"/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Creator

OPF Elements:

<dc:Creator role="author"></dc:Creator>
<dc:Creator role="editor"></dc:Creator>
<dc:Creator role="illustrator"></dc:Creator>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Guidelines:

These elements reflect the authors, editors or illustrators credited on the title page of the print book (or the front cover if there is no title page).
Include the name as it appears on the print book.
However, do not include titles or academic credentials.
If no Creator is credited on the book, leave the element empty.
You may include as many creators as are credited on the print book title page, but you must include at least the first three.
Be sure to use the correct role in the OPF element.
Do not use the Creator element to repeat the publisher name.

Examples:

MathML

OPF element: Not Applicable.

Guidelines:

Metadata regarding the presence of MathML in the NIMAS file is not provided in the OPF.
However, if your file contains MathML, the system will automatically detect this upon upload and include this MathML metadata in the searchable record in the NIMAC system.

NIMAS File Creation Date

OPF element:

<dc:Date event="DCTERMS.created"></dc:Date>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Guidelines:

Enter the date that the NIMAS file set was prepared by the conversion vendor.
Use the format YYYY-MM-DD.
If you create a revised file set to replace a file that has already been certified by the NIMAC, the NIMAS File Creation Date should reflect the date that the new file set was prepared.

Example:

<dc:Date event="DCTERMS.created">2018-12-15</dc:Date>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Numerical Edition

OPF Element:

<meta name="nimas-SourceEdition" content=""/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Guidelines:

This element should be used whenever a numerical edition statement is present on the print book.
If no statement is present, please leave the tag empty.
Please use this format: 2nd ed., 3rd ed., 4th ed., etc.
Please do not include “1st ed.” in the metadata unless this designation appears on the print book.
Any additional non-numerical edition information (except for state edition) should be included in the Publisher Note field.

Example 1:

Title page shows: American History, Third Edition

<meta name="nimas-SourceEdition" content="3rd ed."/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Example 2:

Title page shows: Geography, 4^th edition, Fully Revised and Expanded

<meta name="nimas-SourceEdition" content="4th ed."/>
<meta name="DCTERMS.description.note" content="Fully Revised and Expanded."/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Publisher

OPF element:

<dc:Publisher></dc:Publisher>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Guidelines:

Reflects the publisher imprint(s) shown on the title page of the print book.
This field does not repeat.
If you are manually uploading files to the system and the imprint is not found in the imprint list for your publisher account, please contact the NIMAS for assistance.

Examples:

<dc:Publisher>Houghton Mifflin Harcourt</dc:Publisher>
<dc:Publisher>Davis Publications, Inc.</dc:Publisher>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Publisher Notes

OPF element:

<meta name="DCTERMS.description.note" content=""/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Guidelines:

This element is used to supply additional information about the title that the publisher would like to include in the metadata record.
For example, the field can be used to include custom edition information that appears on the print book.
Please do not use this element to repeat metadata already supplied in other metadata elements.
In most cases, including a Publisher Note is OPTIONAL.
However, if a file set is incomplete, the Publisher Note is REQUIRED.
In some cases, a publisher may submit a partial file set that includes only the student-facing pages from a teacher ancillary.
If a print book is distributed in its entirety to the student, the NIMAC can accept NIMAS for the entire book.
However, if only selected pages are reproduced by the teacher and distributed to the student, only these pages can be submitted in the NIMAS file set.
In this case, the Publisher Note will state that the file set is incomplete and includes only the student-facing pages.
Note: The Content Type for these materials should always be “Other.”

Examples:

<meta name="DCTERMS.description.note" content="This file is INCOMPLETE. It contains only the pages distributed directly to students."/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

<meta name="DCTERMS.description.note" content="Cedar River District Schools Custom Edition."/> Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Rights

OPF element:

<dc:Rights>The only legal and authorized use of these files is for the production of alternate media materials for blind, visually impaired, or print disabled students as specified in the NIMAC limitation of use agreement. The copyright for these files is the sole property of the original owner.</dc:Rights>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Guidelines:

The default Rights statement above must be present in the OPF for all NIMAS files.
This element does not repeat.
Publishers are welcome to include a supplemental rights statement if they wish. However, this is optional.
Any such supplemental statement should be appended to the default Rights statement in the OPF, in the same element.

Series

OPF element:

<meta name="DCTERMS.relation.isPartOf" content=""/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Guidelines:

This field is used to supply a series title that applies to the book.
This element can appear up to twice in the OPF.
If no series applies, please leave this element out.
Do not use this element to repeat the individual book title.

Examples:

<meta name="DCTERMS.relation.isPartOf" content="Houghton Mifflin Leveled Readers"/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

<meta name="DCTERMS.relation.isPartOf" content="Breaking the Barrier Series "/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Source Book ISBN(s)

OPF element:

<dc:Source></dc:Source>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Guidelines:

Please include all the ISBNs found on the print book that refer to the edition provided in the NIMAS file set.
This element may be repeated as many times as needed.
Do not include in the metadata ISBNs for editions that are NOT identical to the content of the NIMAS file set, such as the ISBNs for the teacher’s edition.
ISBNs for other print editions that contain the identical content may also be included in the metadata using the Source element, even if they do not appear on the print book.
In this case, we recommend that a Publisher Note be included in the OPF that confirms that, although the ISBNs do not appear on the book being submitted to the NIMAC, the content is identical.

Example:

<dc:Source>9780618224561</dc:Source>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

<dc:Source>0618224563</dc:Source>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Source Book Pagination

OPF element:

<meta name="DCTERMS.format.extent" content=""/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Guidelines:

This element provides the pagination information of the print book.
This element is OPTIONAL.
Enter the last page number for each numbered section of the book, separated by commas, and followed by “p.”
Disregard unnumbered pages.
Please do not provide the total number of pages in the book.

Examples:

<meta name="DCTERMS.format.extent" content="xvi, 1024 p."/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

<meta name="DCTERMS.format.extent" content="xi, K21, 356, R12 p."/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

State (or National) Edition

OPF element:

<meta name="DCTERMS.description.version" content=""/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Guidelines:

This field reflects whether the book’s contents are customized for sale only to one state or if the book is distributed nationally.
Many states purchase national editions of textbooks.
For a national edition, include the statement: “National ed.”
For a state edition, please use the US postal code for the state in the statement: http://www.stateabbreviations.us/.
If no state edition statement appears on the print book, please assume it is a National edition.
If you are a conversion vendor and are uncertain about how to supply this metadata, please contact the publisher or the NIMAC for assistance.

Examples:

<meta name="DCTERMS.description.version" content="National ed."/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

<meta name="DCTERMS.description.version" content="TN ed."/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Subject

OPF element:

<dc:Subject></dc:Subject>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Guidelines:

This field reflects the subject area(s) of the textbook.
Please use only terms from the approved NIMAC subject list.
See list appended to this document.
Choose the most specific, relevant subject term. (For example, use “Algebra” for an algebra textbook, instead of “Mathematics.”)
Supplementary reading materials should always include “Reading” as a subject.
Up to three subjects can be included. Repeat the element in the OPF as needed.

Examples:

<dc:Subject>Reading</dc:Subject>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

<dc:Subject>Geometry</dc:Subject>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Text Publication Year

OPF element:

<meta name="DCTERMS.date.issued" content=""/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

<meta name="nimas-SourceDate" content=""/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Guidelines:

This element is used for the year that the print book was first published.
The date refers to the publication year of the specific ISBN/edition being submitted in the NIMAS file.
This date may or may not be the same as the copyright year.
This date may or may not be the same as the printing date.
If a publication date statement does not appear on the print book, please check with the publisher or the NIMAC for assistance.
Due to a quirk in the NIMAS specification, the publication year should appear in the OPF in both of the elements above.

Example:

<meta name="DCTERMS.date.issued" content="2017"/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

<meta name="nimas-SourceDate" content="2017"/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Title

OPF element:

<dc:Title></dc:Title>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Guidelines:

Titles can be complicated when they are long and contain many parts. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to the NIMAC for assistance if you are unsure how to best format a title in the OPF metadata and <doctitle> of the XML.
If the book has no title page, please use the cover title.
Be sure to include any subtitle, grade, level, or ancillary title information found on the title page of the print book.

Example:

<dc:Title>Mathematics, Grade 5, Workbook</dc:Title>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Generally, do not include grade if it does not appear on the title page.
However, if grade level does not show on the print book, but it is needed in the title to distinguish between otherwise identical titles, please include it in brackets.

Example:

   <dc:Title>Reading Wonders [Grade 3]</dc:Title>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Follow English title capitalization rules, regardless of how capitalization may be used as a design element on the print book. (For example, if the title on the book is in all caps, please disregard this use and follow normal capitalization rules.)
For Spanish books, use Spanish title capitalization rules.

Examples:

<dc:Title>Art Through the Ages: An Introduction</dc:Title>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

<dc:Title>Carlos y el gato azul</dc:Title>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Do not include the numerical edition in the title element. (Please use the designated element to include this metadata.)

Example:

A book shows “Anatomy and Physiology: A Systems Approach” and “Third Edition” on the title page.

<dc:Title>Anatomy and Physiology: A Systems Approach </dc:Title>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

<meta name="DCTERMS.description.version" content="3rd ed."/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Do not include the state edition statement in the title, unless the state name clearly shows on the title page as part of the title.

Examples:

A book shows “World Geography” and a graphic of the outline of the state of California on the title page.

<dc:Title>World Geography</dc:Title>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

<meta name="DCTERMS.description.version" content="CA ed."/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

A book shows “California Journeys, Grade 4” on the title page.

 <dc:Title>California Journeys, Grade 4</dc:Title>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

<meta name="DCTERMS.description.version" content="CA ed."/>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)
