"dumb container" example

[Bruce D'Arcus <bruce.darcus@OpenDocument.us>]

For discussion, here's what a citation might look like in the "dumb 
container" field approach:

<text:meta-field odf:id="123">(Doe, 1999:23; see also Smith, 
2001)</text:meta-field>

.. and a binding:

<odf:Element rdf:about="http://mysamples#cite-1"; odf:path="content.xml" 
odf:idref="123"/>

Note: I changed "odf:id" above to "odf:idref". Right?

And then maybe (because there are a lot of ways to do this):

<cite:Citation rdf:about="http://mysamples#cite-1";>
   <dc:source rdf:resource="urn:isbn:23983498#23"/>
   <cite:seeAlso rdf:resource="urn:isbn:123092394"/>
</cite:Citation>

<rdf:Description rdf:about="urn:isbn:23983498#23">
   <cite:pages>23</cite:pages>
   <dcterms:isPartOf rdf:resource="urn:isbn:23983498"/>
</rdf:Description>

<b:Book rdf:resource="urn:isbn:23983498">
   ...
</b:Book>

A nested inline + parameters option might be:

<text:meta-field>
(
   <text:meta-field m:target="urn:isbn:23983498" cite:pages="23">Doe, 
1999:23</text:meta-field>;
   <text:meta-field m:target="urn:isbn:123092394" 
m:style="http://ex.net/seeAlso";>see also Smith, 2001
)
</text:meta-field>

.. and just the last bit in the RDF/XML:

<b:Book rdf:resource="urn:isbn:23983498">
   ...
</b:Book>
