[Refdb-users] mods-bn

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

I'm posting where things are at now.

Here's what I did:

1)  converted MODS to Relax NG

2)  created a Relax NG notes schema (not currently synced with xnote)

3)  created a new schema -- called mods-bn -- that adds 2 to the 
extension element of 1

Example file at:

For the notes I started with docbook-ish markup, but switched to the 
more compact element names of html to keep markup less intrusive.

If you create a file in nxml mode and load the mods-bn schema, you will 
get tag completion on the extension element for the notes schema.  If 
nothing else, perhaps this shows the potential of Relax NG.  More 
importantly, it'll help me get some work done over the long weekend 
(holiday here in the U.S.).

Comments welcome.  I've not quite determined if the atribute-based 
approach will work for these needs, or whether I need to switch to 
something like the new DocBook stuff.
