Re: [dev-biblio] areas?
Zitat von Bruce D'Arcus [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [...] One of them is an area attribute to make it easier to find styles. In that case, I may as well consider constraining the values. Do you think we could come up with a commonly agreed list of areas? E.g.: humanities social sciences biological sciences engineering physical sciences law [...] I don't believe it to work in reality because styles are not necessary defined by an area of science, but often (also or only) by an institution or journal. If your intention is to ease looking up a style in a GUI I'd recomment a techniqe used quite often in Eclipse: You type some keyword in a filter text field, lets say APA, and the GUI immediately filters the list of styles to only contain those that have APA in their name.

[dev-biblio] Multi-lingual bibliographic database
Hi, I am a Czech studying in USA so I have a lot of citations which I would like to use both in my Czech and English papers. Can't we use xml:lang to be able to make multiple fields of the same name, just with different xml:lang?

At the moment, there are only three style files in the new format. But out there in citation land there are thousands of them. The same for journals WRT to abbreviated titled. I'm trying to design this system so that it could scale well. I think metadata will be important for that. I don't think just typing a style name will be adequate if you need to find one among hundreds or thousands. That said, the more general solution I guess is to just to allow multiple subject elements to describe this information, and probably to leave the values uncontrolled (thought that could be a problem in terms of scalability).
