Re: DOCBOOK: Document Metadata

/ "<s.yeates@cs.waikato.ac.nz>" <say1@goblin.cs.waikato.ac.nz> was heard to say:
| I'm looking at recording bibliometric data using DocBook. I notice that the 
| BookBiblio tag is about to be dropped from DocBook.

That's not really significant because biblioentry and bibliomixed
provide all the functionality that bookbiblio provided.

| I want to be able to represent that a document refers to another document. I 
| want to be able to do this using a direct reference (if i have the document) 

What do you mean by 'direct reference'? Do you mean a link in online
presentation or something else?

| or using a list of known bibliographic information if i don't.

For bibliographic information, you can use a bibliography containing
biblioentry or bibliomixed elements.

                                        Be seeing you,
