I can indeed im...Randy, thank you for posting this. I can indeed imagine that elements are stored like this, but want to add a thought:<br /><br />When you look at the elements in your examples, you can see they have meanings, that, regardless of their names, can be put in categories. With that I mean that for instance a page (in a church book) and a sheet number (in a census), have similar meanings, and can therefore be stored in the same element type. One can do similar things for titles that appear to be used for collections, no matter whether they are blogs or magazines. Same for things like entry for person name or family, which in general terms in an item of interest. When you put terms in categories like that, and make sure that categories are translated, one or two dozen element categories should be enough. These categories can then be translated at will.<br /><br />P.S. I removed my previous comment, because I found no other way to remove typos.Enno Borgsteedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212823867293147091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-46111306926535688702014-09-04T12:25:54.125-07:002014-09-04T12:25:54.125-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Enno Borgsteedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212823867293147091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-81943045991166564022014-09-04T02:38:23.243-07:002014-09-04T02:38:23.243-07:00I don't think FHISO will see this Randy unless...I don't think FHISO will see this Randy unless entered into their discussions, either via their call-for-papes or in their current TSC-public mailing list.<br /><br />I don't believe that Louis was suggesting standardising the "templates" (Louis can correct me if I'm wrong). He was thinking about a scheme where the citations are broken down into a number of elements, and where the actual formatted version (which "isn't part of the data") can be generated by some unspecified templating system when required.<br /><br />What you're suggesting has been been proposed already, and is largely implemented already in models like STEMMA which has no limits to the number of source types that can be declared, and no restrictions on the elements within them.<br /><br />My main comment on Louis's suggestion was that we need to accommodate discursive notes, layered citations, and multiple sources in the same reference note.<br /><br />I will put together an example of how each of these work in STEMMA in a blog-post soon.Tony Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330460400737261264noreply@blogger.com
