JATS article title uuid

[teodorgeorgiev]

Hi @tcatapano the reason we would like to add an uuid also on the title element is consistency. To be able to express the following

article [UUID XXX] has
title [UUID XX1]
abstract [UUID XX2]
keywords [UUID XX3]
section [UUID XX4]
etc.

Can we use something like that:
<uri content-type="xyz-uuid">10700A07-3386-57EA-9C6B-121AB0998AA9</uri>

@teodorgeorgiev I don't know enough about your use context, so am agnostic as to usage. That said, in JATS <object-id> is not available on <title> , that is the title the article, not in metadata, which would use the element <article-title>, which also does not allow <object-id>. You could use the <uri> element, but that usage should probably not be considered normative. My sense is that the <uri> element in <title> is intended to allow one to tag a uri which is part of a title, not to provide a identifier for the title. Up to you, though.

Thanks, @tcatapano. Of course, you are right ... am I just trying to find a workaround, but in all cases, we can skip that.
