This is a pretty simplistic template for a very general app, but it seems to be OK for most BD users.

- Abstract
Wikipedia
Wikipedia makes extensive use of bibliographic citations, in particular to point readers to further information sources. There are differing formats depending on Wikipedia's language:
English Wikipdia
The kinds of citations used on the site run the full gamut. Here are breakdowns of four categories previously mentioned:
Book
- title
- author
- publisher
- year
- ISBN

The Book Infobox template from wikipedia shows a separate schema that is being used for many book pages on wikipedia to mark up a summary box about the book:

- country

- preceded_by
- followed_by
Journal Articles

- year
- title
- journal title

German Wikipedia
EPrints.org
Based on Expressing Dublin Core in HTML/XHTML meta and link elements and rfc2731, Eprints.org uses the following Dublin Core terms in meta tags in the HTML HEAD of each paper's page:
- title
- creator (author)
- description (abstract)
- date
- type
- identifier (a url)
- format
- a strange syntax for the meta content:"pdf http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/12070/01/Alani-final.pdf"" for the format term...
- fulltext
- this is in a rel-alternate link element. The class is 'fulltext', and the href is the same link as in format, only a valid URL this time.
In the body of the page, they use the following classes, now no longer DC terms:
- title
- authors (a flat list with abbreviated names)
- year
- conference
- conference location
Self-Citation Example
One example of an article that includes a statement "please cite as" (a self-description):
- title

- periodical (journal) title

Analysis of Examples
With exception of just a few properties, all of the above appeared in atleast two different examples. The following properties were very common in most the example formats:
- title
- subtitle
- author
- publication date
- description
- pages
- ISBN
- publisher
Styles
This does NOT define a format, but instead shows how the format should be displayed. This is something out of the direct scope of this project. CSS styles will handle the look-and-feel of the text, and the author can put it in any order they choose. These links are mentioned for two reasons, one is informative, the other is so we know at least meet the minimum properties that are used in the styles.
- MLA Style
- Chicago, MLA, and APA styles
- Writer's Workshop citation style page (detailed citation style info)
- Blue Book for legal citations
- Columbia University Citation Style developed for modern internet citations
