SBC-LTER has been investigating using EML and Metacat for our site's
bibliography. In creating and displaying my xml, I've come up with a list of
potential changes to the eml-literature schema, which dont affect the validation
of current citation eml docs. At the network office, James Brunt and Mark
Servilla are also pursuing something similar while constructing the network's
litdb, and will have some input soon.
My goal was to create a hanging-paragraph style display of our site's
bibliography, with links to the paper and to the dataset as appropriate. EML's
imports/includes were a bit intimidating, so instead, I chose to start from
scratch and write a dtd that looks like eml-literature, but included just the
basic tags needed for the typical hanging-paragraph bibliography display. So the
dtd is kind of an "eml-lite". But in the long run of course, my wimpy dtd should
disappear.
What I've done so far: Create a test xml doc of several pubs with this dtd. The
citations are mostly fictional to suit my stylesheet testing needs. I created a
stylesheet to display it in a typical hanging-paragraph list, filtered by type,
then sorted by year and author. Looking for some thrills, I went ahead and
inserted it into metacat, and mapped the stylesheet (with help from Sid). This
seemed to be a good way to show what I had in mind (not to mention, see
if it really worked). Since most of the citations were created for testing the
stylesheet, most of the url links really dont go anywhere. It was the general
format that I was interested in. You can see the results at:
http://sbc.lternet.edu/catalog/metacat?action=read&qformat=sbclter&docid=sbc_pubs_test.1.1
The xml file and stylesheet can be found at:
http://sbc.lternet.edu/external/EML/SBC_publications/sbcCitationList.xmlhttp://sbc.lternet.edu/external/EML/SBC_publications/sbcCitationList.xsl
What I haven't done: some cleanup, create css parameters, use id refs, searches,
link the title to the existing table-style eml-literature.xsl. I've started on a
script to convert SBC's own html list of pubs to xml.
Here is the list of differences between my dtd and the eml-literature schema:
this dtd has a as the root element, (eml: no such tag)
is child of citationList, 1 to many allowed. (eml: one only, root
element)
OK, these 2 do affect current docs, unless they are put into another module
(eml-publications?) that uses eml-literature. Having all the citations in one
list is much easier to maintain than the current scheme of 1-citation-per-doc.
Also, a research site is likely to have many repeated authors, and if the pubs
are in one list, authors can be maintained in the additionalMetadata, and
linked with ids.
