Yeah, I noticed that too -- the "DTD fragment for citation" that he
used looked pretty weak in comparison with what you'd need for a
full-blown standard bibliographic citation which you'd want to have
some hope of doing any typesetting with.
This came up in the context of the (as of yet only proposed)
comp.bibliography discussion. There is an appropriately ugly ANSI
standard format for bibliographies, which is rich enough to encompass
all (most?) of the information various perverse journal formats need.
Software like Pro-Cite (from PBS Inc.) I think uses the ANSI
bibliography format as its internal representation for bibliographic
entries.
It would seem to be sensible to ask if there is an extant SGML encoding
and DTD which follows the ANSI standard (probably Z39.something, I don't
have the exact citation). You'd hate to have to type it directly, of
course...

[[ Re: standard bibliographic formats ]]
There is at least one de facto standard which libraries use for their
on-loine card catalogs - MARC. Of course the acronym's expansion eacapes
me.
Could MARC be a superset of an ANSI bibliographical standard. For that
matter, why not use MARC or a slight improvement thereon?

You've got to be kidding. People of been working on this problem for over 20 years (more like 2000 or better, actually). Every librarian, whereever, has confronted this problem. One might take a quite look at the 11th Edition of the Britannica under bibliography to get an idea of what is being toyed with here. Basically, bibliography and the description of a bibliographic item can not be easily reduced to the Chicago Style Manual, or to Turabian. At best the guidelines give by these two items only suffice to produce "handlists." -:) -- Wain Dobson, Vancouver, B.C. ...!{uunet,ubc-cs}!van-bc!seac!wain

In light of the frequent request for essential bibliography on SGML,
I will post a revised version of a brief bibliography, complete with
abstracts. Presumably Ed Vielmetti will archive this for others who
will join the discussion asking "What is SGML anyway?" I have stripped
unsightly SGML coding and categorized the entries. The longer bibliography
from which this is excerpted contains a section (developed by Nick Duncan
and David Barnard) containing SGML-style tags that go beyond BiBTeX but
are based upon BiBTeX (see section #7). As many have noted (re: MARC
formats), building the taxonomy & hierarchy for bibliograpic tags
is hard, but within disciplines it should be manageable. Happy reading.

==========================================
Barron, David. "Why Use SGML?" Electronic Publishing 2/1
(April 1989) 3-24. CODEN: EPODEU; ISSN 0894-3982. Abstract: The
Standard Generalised Markup Language (SGML) is a recently-adopted
International Standard (ISO 8879). The paper presents some
background material on markup systems, gives a brief account of
SGML, and attempts to clarify the precise nature and purpose of
SGML, which are widely misunderstood. It then goes on to explore
the reasons why SGML should (or should not) be used in preference
to older-established systems. A summary of the article is also
printed in "Why Use SGML," SGML Users' Group Newsletter
13 (August 1989) 10.

the Future of Scholarly Text Processing." CACM 30/11
(1987) 933-947. ISSN: 0001-0782; cf. CACM 31/7 (July
1988) 810-11) Abstract: The authors argue that many word
processing systems distract authors from their tasks of research
and composition, toward concern with typographic and other tasks.
Emphasis on "WYSIWYG", while helpful for display, has ignored a
more fundamental concern: representing document structure. Four
main types of markup are analyzed: Punctuational (spaces,
punctuation,...), presentational (layout, font choice,...),
procedural (formatting commands), and descriptive (mnemonic labels
for document elements). Only some ancient manuscripts have
no markup. Any form of markup can be formatted for
display, but descriptive markup is privileged because it reflects
the underlying structure. ISO SGML is a descriptive markup
standard, but most benefits are available even before a standard
is widely accepted. A descriptively marked-up document is not
tied to formatting or printing capabilities. It is maintainable,
for the typographic realization of any type of element can be
changed in a single operation, with guaranteed consistency. It
can be understood even with <emph>no</> markup formatting
software: compare "<blockquote>" to ".sk 3 a; .in +10 -10; .ls 0;
.cp 2". It is relatively portable across views, applications and
systems. Descriptive markup also minimizes cognitive demands: the
author need only recall (or recognize in a menu) a mnemonic for
the desired element, rather than also deciding how it is currently
to appear, and recalling how to obtain that appearance. Most of
this extra work is thrown away before final copy; descriptive
markup allows authors to focus on authorship. (abstract supplied

H. "What is Text, Really?" Journal of Computing in Higher
Education 1/2 (Winter 1990) 3-26. ISSN: 1042-1726. Abstract:
"The way in which text is represented on a computer affects the
kinds of uses to which it can be put by its creator and by
subsequent users. The electronic document model currently in use
is impoverished and restrictive. The authors agree that text is
best represented as an ordered hierarchy of content object[s]
(OHCO), because that is what text really is. This model conforms
with emerging standards such as SGML and contains within it
advantages for the writer, publisher, and researcher. The authors
then describe how the hierarchical model can allow future use and
reuse of the document as a database, hypertext or network."

ISO 8879: Information Processing -- Text and Office Systems
-- Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). International
Organization for Standardization. Ref. No. ISO 8879-1986 (E).
Geneva/New York, 1986. [A one-page tech note on the ISO (as a
FIPS document, FIPS-PUB-152) provides the following abstract (see
"Publishing Standard Allows for the Transfer of Documents from
Author to Publisher" [NTIS Tech Note, 081914000; National Bureau
of Standards, Gaithersburg, MD; May 1989].) Abstract: This
citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology
available for utilization. A Federal Information Processing
Standard (FIPS) recently approved by the Secretary of Commerce
should help federal agencies improve their communications with
publishing organizations. (FIPS are developed by NIST for use by
the federal government.) The new standard, called Standard
Generalized Markup Language (SGML), provides a common way for
defining markup languages so documents can be transferred from
author to publisher in a standardized format. By providing a
coherent and unambiguous syntax for describing the elements within
a document, SGML makes it easier to move unformatted textual data
among different installations and processing systems. Developed
by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) with assistance
from NIST, the SGML standard is already being used by the
Computer-Aided Acquisition and Logistics Support (CALS) program of
the Department of Defense to develop a military specification.
NIST is providing technical support for the CALS program. In
addition, NIST has developed the first set of conformance tests
for SGML; ISO and ANSI are considering using these tests for their
own test suites. For possible addenda and changes to 8879, see
