I'm manually converting a book from HTML to ePub. The book is an anthology of works: a work of three volumes with each volume comprising several chapters.
I'd like to use the Structural Semantic Vocabulary (SSV) to describe the components—let's just say for arbitrary purposes for now. However, I also I intend to split the content into HTML files per-chapter with an additional title page per-volume:
volume-i-titlepage.xhtml
volume-i-chapter-i.xhtml
volume-i-chapter-ii.xhtml
volume-ii-titlepage.xhtml
volume-ii-chapter-i.xhtml
volume-ii-chapter-ii.xhtml
Thus I'm unsure where you would identify epub:type="volume" in a way that would mark all relevant content as being a child of that volume.
Another example of this would be if you split a chapter over two content documents, I'm not sure where you would apply epub:type="chapter".
If it were a single content document, I suppose I'd use markup like so:
<section epub:type="volume">
<header epub:type="titlepage"/>
<section epub:type="chapter"/>
<section epub:type="chapter"/>
</section>
<section epub:type="volume">
<header epub:type="titlepage"/>
<section epub:type="chapter"/>
<section epub:type="chapter"/>
</section>
Looking at more strict 'edupub' compliance, would on cursory reading suggest that such semantic blocks not be split between content documents.
A secondary concern is whether the implied root semantics here is compliant as would be a challenge for any anthology/compilation:

frontmatter
