This is half a DocBook question and half a "process" question for anyone on this list working in a distributed DocBook production environment where for a particular assembled document you are generating at least one common glossary. (In this case, the assembled document is planned as a set with two books, multiple chapters within each book, and sections within each chapter.) Authors will be working on chapters and sections independently of one another.
I am trying to figure out the logistics of having authors generate glossterms/glossentries that are unique and consistently-formed and contribute to a common glossary. It may well be that this isn't possible, or that it is best done as a sort of kludge, where they mark up glossterms and then submit the full glossary entries in a separate document, for editors to manually integrate this content into a main glossary after human review. Either that, or authors ignore glossary creation altogether and the next tier of editors is responsible for glossary creation. I have read through the instructions for glossary databases in Stayton's guide, thought about manual vs. automated creation, etc. but am still stuck at the "process" level of all this. -- -- | Karen G.
