Re: [docbook-apps] pubwork does not include a thesis

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Bernhard,

The role attribute can be used to provide more specific semantic meaning to an element instance, and can be used on most elements. You could use <citetitle role="phdthesis"> to capture that meaning.

The DocBook Technical Committee acknowledges that any enumeration of an attribute like pubwork cannot be exhaustive of all the possible values that users might want. For most enumerated attributes, the schema has an extension mechanism in the form of "other". It is executed with two attributes, such as this example for biblioid:

<biblioid class="otherclass" otherclass="somethingnew">

Here "otherclass" is one of the enumerated values of the class attribute, otherclass= is another permitted attribute, and "somethingnew" is an arbitrary string.

However, citetitle does not have this mechanism, so the role attribute would have to be used.

The last weeks I have helped to adapt Jabref export to docbook5.1. This
is almost finished and I will not plague you as often as before. @Dave:
BTW you should only reply to the list and not to myself separately,
since a only write to the list.

Hi,

I am surprised that the attribute of citetitle does not include any form of a thesis. This is a serious flaw.

Docbook wasn't created for academic works.
You can extend the schema quite readily as per your example?

HTH

<citetitle pubwork="phdthesis">Isolierung und  ... </citititle>

Any choice is not appropriate for thesis:
value of attribute "pubwork" is invalid; must be equal to "article", "bbs", "book", "cdrom", "chapter", "dvd", "emailmessage", "gopher", "journal", "manuscript", "newsposting", "part", "refentry", "section", "series", "set", "webpage" or "wiki"

How long will it take to change the behaviour?

Regards Bernhard
