Re: [libdb-develop] Re: [Bibliophile-development] citation ids?

[Bruce D'A. <bd...@fa...>]

Can I ask that people post further thoughts on the blog?  I'm trying to  
get people from different projects involved in the discussion, and it's  
actually been helpful.

On that, I just had an idea in response to one of those comments  
(thanks Rick!), which is to use existing ids along with the info  
scheme.  E.g. "info:lccn/n78089035".  See:   
http://info-uri.info/registry/docs/misc/faq.html.

So if I'm citing a book, I might do:

	<citation><biblioref linkend="info:lccn/n78089035"/></citation>

.. if a journal article with a DOI:

	<citation><biblioref linkend="info:doi/10.1000.10/12345"/></citation>

I think I like this!  AFAIK, it should be fairly easy to process with  
XSLT; without any significant performance penalty (at least I hope!).

Anyway, blog entry is at:
