Back in December I asked if anyone had any bibliographic templates  
they could share. There were no replies, so I went on to develop my  
own. I thought I'd post them to the list in case they may beuseful to  
others.

My original intent was to use Docbook's bibliographic elements, but  
in the meantime I discovered refdb (<http://refdb.sourceforge.net/>)  
and the RISX bibliographic DTD, which is the first bibliographic data  
model I've actually liked - the clean distinctions among analytic,  
monographic, and serial data makes a lot of sense to me. In theory  
the templates could be converted to Docbook by storing their contents  
in refdb and then exporting as Docbook. The templates are based on  
the six use cases implicit in the descriptions of the Chicago Manual  
of Style bibliographies (e.g. at <http://www.libs.uga.edu/ref/ 
chicago.html>).

Along with the templates, I developed a stylesheet that presents the  
entries as nested boxes. I've attached both the stylesheet and the  
risx.xxe file.
