1 year ago At the UL, we have been using bibl in the following ways:
1. msItem [...] listBibl bibl bibl /listBibl /msItem
(for listing editions of texts or references to databases or comparanda - no attributes used)
2. For in-line mark-up of the author, title and date of publications that a description is referencing, without any attributes.
3. bibl @type="MS" subtype="internal"
(for enclosing classmarks of UL manuscripts)
4. bibl @type="MS" subtype="external"
(for enclosing classmarks on non-UL manuscripts)
...and possibly others
Do we want to recommend values for bibl's type attr?
Bibl is a very generic element and could appear in many different contexts (text and header). Any recommendations would apply to bibl wherever it occurs.
If we do want to recommend values, then we should revisit the current list as many of them appear to be Bodleian specific
There's also the separate matter of whether we want to add any constraints on this attribute within certain contexts (i.e. when it occurs within a certain context in the header, ensure that Y happens. Y could be anything from attribute X existing with some value to element Z existing somewhere else in the document).
