Workflow for Documents with strong bibliographic requirements

posted 10:46PM Feb 11, 2005 with tags by Lars Trieloff

Bruce D'Arcus recommends following workflow to writers with a strong need for support for bibliographic data. His solution does not only include only DocBook-XML (he recommends the new RELAX NG based DocBook NG), but also some cutting edge tools like the eXist native XML Database Management System (there are some others available, but eXist is Open Source and works), a tool called citeproc to process the bibliographic data, which is a collection of XSLT 2.0 Stylesheets for a processor like Saxon 8.

I have to try this workflow when I write some papers for my university next time. It sounds like an interesting way to keep track of all your <biblioentry-elements.

Actually, I don't use the DocBook bibliographic stuff like biblioentry; I use the MODS XML Schema. This reminds me I need to bother Norm about improving bib representation in v5.
