Example

In this example:

The <authorinformation> contains the content for a reader's comment form; the <maintainer> element references that author information to create the reader comment form.
The <prodinfo> element contains the book's product information. This includes the product name, and the version, release, and modification information.
The <bookid> element contains the book's form number and part number information. The <maintainer> element contains information about the current maintainer of the book; it might reference the <authorinformation> element to provide detailed information about an author that is also the current maintainer.
The <bookrights> element contains the book's copyright information.

This example makes heavy use of <authorinformation>, which is a domain element that OASIS delivers only with the <bookmap> specialization. However, other DTD, XSD Schema, or RELAX NG implementations of <bookmap> may not include the domain with <authorinformation>; likewise, <authorinformation> may be included in other document types.
