- Subject: [docbook] bibliographic information
Hello,
I'm using DocBook-NG, IPA release. Unfortunately, even after reading relevant
parts in DocBook 5.0: The Definite Guide, I wasn't able to find out how to
exactly turn bibliographic information into DocBook code. This was partly
because there seems to be an incompatibility between DocBook 5.0 and
DocBook-NG.
Say I want to encode a paper appearing in some sort of proceedings. The paper
is seperately available via the WWW. The proceedings have an ISSN. I tried
something like this:
<biblioentry xml:id="id-to-refer-to-this-entry-from-within-my-document">
<biblioset>
<title>title of the paper</title>
<author>
<personname>
<firstname>author's firstname</firstname>
<surname>author's surname</surname>
</personname>
</author>
<biblioid class="uri">http://server/path/to/paper</biblioid>
</biblioset>
<biblioset>
<title>title of the proceedings (e.g., Proceedings of the ...)</title>
<volumenum>volume number</volumenum>
<issuenum>issue number</issuenum>
<orgname>name of the organization publishing the proceedings</orgname>
<data>publishing date</date>
<biblioid class="issn">ISSN of the proceedings</biblioid>
</biblioset>
</biblioentry>
What is incorrect with this code? What could be done better?
What about the following specific questions?
* How do I specify which of the biblioset elements refers to the actual
document (i.e., the paper) and which refers only to a larger document
which covers the former one (i.e., the proceedings).
* Is it correct to specify an URL for download as an URI in an biblioid
element?
* What do I do if the paper was published as part of certain proceedings
but the version of the paper which I refer to and which is downloadable
under the specified URL is an updated version?
Thank you for your help.
Best wishes,
Wolfgang
