All,
We've been working on a strawman proposal for a genealogical embedded citation

the proposal and comments to the proposal at the Taking Genealogy to the Common

Hi Dan,

I haven't had time yet to take an in-depth look at your proposed standard, I hope to do so soon. On a related note I wanted to suggest something for the microfilm image delivery system (Post 'n Host? Is there a better name we can refer to it as?).

If you look at each article of Wikipedia you'll notice a "Cite This Article" link at the left of each page. Clicking on it will give you a page with bibliographic information for that article, plus examples of citing the article in several formats like ALA, MLA, etc.

I would think it would be handy along with an embedded self-citing format if each microfilm image display page also had such a "Cite this source" link, an "analog" equivalent to the self-citing feature.

Just a thought.
