Re: Bibliography GUI

Title:  Scott Hudson

Hi Gary,

this is pretty interesting, but don't think it addresses the issue of
citing specific legal references (either to US code, European Court of
Justice (ECJ), European Court of Human Rights, House of Lords, Supreme
Court, etc.). 

As John Hanratty pointed out on the list, there could be quite a lot of
metadata required around a legal citation that might be onerous for a
human to mark up. That said, I don't think we should avoid the
possibility of providing structures to hold this information.  John
also pointed out that:

"The act or case name is not usually considered part of the citation.
In addition to publishers' proprietary citation systems there is the
"official cite" or "neutral cite" included by the state in its
published" report of the case/piece of legislation, etc." There is also
no equivalent of CrossRef to link legal documents, but that doesn't
mean we can't enable such a method!

Best regards,

--Scott

Scott:

  
 

  
There
is a bibliography GUI that exports to docbook.xml. It is JabRef.
I am attaching a BibTex
bibliography that I converted to xml. Let me know what  you think.
