RE: [dita] Complexity of bookmap - sequence of volumes

[Robert D Anderson <robander@us.ibm.com>]

Hi Bruce - there is a volume element in the bookmeta. It's part of the
<bookid> container, which also contains isbn, edition, and some other
information. I'm not sure if that would work - if all of your books in the
sequence have the same title, then this could include the volume number.

Another thing that occurs to me is that you might want to use the booktitle
element, which includes both a library title and a book title. The
booklibrary gives the title for the sequence of books, while the
mainbooktitle element gives the title for the current volume.
