I think that would work as long as the user can position a cursor into a list of references and insert at that point.I see what you mean now. There are two separate issues here:
1) reference grouping
Another example to the above is that I often see articles where you have a few different subdivisions in the reference list: for example, "newspaper articles," "legal documents" and then the references per se.
2) "no cite"
Could not they be consolidated? A "recommended reading" would thus be a citation with a local style of "no cite" which is grouped together under the heading of "Recommended Readings."
A reference list subsection for archival documents would just consist of standard citation referents, but grouped by genre/resource type.
I'm not following.
There just needs to be some way to group references as separate "lists" that might even be separate appendices of a book.
Yes.
I like "private" being the default, but I think there are fields other than annotations that have 'private' enabled (e.g., filenames of inserted graphics).
OK.
But the GUI designer is one of those who does need this to seriously use OpenOffice. ;-)
Martha -- given your background in the library world, perhaps you ought to help me lobby the LoC on this :-)
OK, what do you want me to do?
I'm not sure. It's just a delicate lobbying effort involved in getting the LoC to do this. I've been trying for the past year off-and-on, and I've not been successful yet.
I need some clarification -- (1) The metadata could travel with the doc, and then after the receiver revises the metadata and sends it back, OOoBib could ask if to overwrite when the original author opens the returned (and edited) document. Or (2) the original author can only change the 'traveling library contents' by changing the OOoBib info and then reinserting, and the receiver cannot change the metadata at all?
I vote for 2.
Can't the "collections" just be virtual; e.g. a named query?
Could be, as long as there is a unique database key that identifies each collection. I have not had time to sort all of my books into genres in 'book collector', so I literally some a few genres such as "oak bookcase in the basement".
But that's a location; not a genre.
