<para>The <sgmltag>bibliocoverage</sgmltag> element satisfies coverage
element of the <ulink url="http://dublincore.org/">Dublin Core
Metadata Initiative</ulink>.</para>
<para>The Dublin Core defines coverage as <quote>the
extent or scope of the content of the resource.</quote> It goes on
to say:</para>
<blockquote>
<para>Coverage will typically include spatial location (a place name
or geographic coordinates), temporal period (a period label,
date, or date range) or jurisdiction (such as a named
administrative entity).
</para>
<para>Recommended best practice is to select a value from a
controlled vocabulary (for example, the
<ulink url="http://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabulary/tgn/">Thesaurus of Geographic
Names</ulink> [TGN]) and that, where appropriate, named places or time
periods be used in preference to numeric identifiers such as
sets of coordinates or date ranges.
</para>
</blockquote>
<para>DocBook 4.2 added <sgmltag>bibliocoverage</sgmltag>,
<sgmltag>bibliorelation</sgmltag>, and
<sgmltag>bibliosource</sgmltag> to make the DocBook meta-information wrappers
a complete superset of the Dublin Core.</para>

</para>
<para>This element is used for both spatial and temporal coverage, but the intent
is that only one is specified at a time. In other words, on any given instance
of the <sgmltag>bibliocoverage</sgmltag> element, specify either
a <sgmltag class="attribute">spatial</sgmltag> or a
<sgmltag class="attribute">temporal</sgmltag> encoding, but not both.</para>
