Wales . . . and Texas: these are among the many exotic, distant lands that capture our minds and imaginations. In an era of increasing globalization, students, general readers, and business professionals need to know about the world and its varied ways. So too, a knowledge of world cultures is fundamental to an understanding of America's ethnically rich society. Folklore isn't just about the long ago and far away. It's about the here and now, and there's no better way to learn about cultural diversity than to study the folklore and folkways of different ethnic groups. <br />
        More than just Cinderella and other fairy tales, folklore encompasses the whole realm of traditional beliefs and activities that define a culture. The most comprehensive work of its kind, this massive encyclopedia engagingly and authoritatively surveys folklife and traditions from around the world. Through its vast scope and lengthy entries, it transcends other references on particular national or regional folklores and is the most ambitious undertaking of its type. Organized in four volumes, the encyclopedia provides convenient access to information about folklore generally and to the traditions of particular regions:<br />
        Volume 1: Topics and Themes, Africa, Australia and Oceania<br />
        Volume 2: Southeast Asia and India, Central and East Asia, Middle East<br />

    The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 on the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon in Washington represented a true watershed in world history.<br/>
    <br/>
    The attacks revealed the horrifying nature of the so-called "new terrorism" that has emerged in the post-Cold War era. The new terrorism is defined by four key features:</div>
  </font>
  <ul>
    <li>
      <p align="justify"><font id="text">sheer lethality</font></p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p align="justify"><font id="text">religious dimension</font></p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p align="justify"><font id="text">networked organizational structure</font></p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p align="justify"><font id="text">greatly enhanced striking power   </font></p>
    </li>
  </ul>
  <font id="text">
  <div style="" align="">As September 11 clearly demonstrated, the new terrorists can leverage on technology to inflict catastrophic damage even on superpowers, let alone other states.<br/>
    <br/>
    To examine the new dimensions of terrorism, a conference was organized in Singapore in late March 2002 that brought together a number of leading experts from a wide range of backgrounds from America, Europe and Asia, and the key findings are presented in this volume under the following headings:</div>
  </font>
  <ul>
    <li>
      <p align="justify"><font id="text">Anatomy of the new terrorism</font></p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p align="justify"><font id="text">Terrorist trends and patterns in the Asia-Pacific region</font></p>
    </li>
    <li>

CiteProc XHTML Output

The XHTML output for CiteProc[2] wasn't designed per se as a microformat, but is probably not a bad place to start. It is desgined to handle a wide range of content. Here is the APA output:

ACM Digital Library Search Result Examples

The ACM Digital Library is a heavily used computer science literature database.

First, the markup for one entry from the table of contents page for the ACM TACO (Transactions on Architecture and Code Optimization) journal:

The markup for the 'full citation' page is similar, with a little more information about the authors.

Here's the markup from the 'ACM Ref' link, which apparently is how they suggest you format it:

Zhao, W., Whalley, D., Healy, C., and Mueller, F. 2005.

<i>ACM Trans. Archit. Code Optim.</i> 2, 4 (Dec. 2005), 335-365.

CiteSeer database search results

The CiteSeer database has been another heavily used Computer Science online resource, and it has minimal markup:

Here's what you see on the main page for a given paper - this information is duplicated everywhere on the page, but this is where it's formatted most like an academic citation:

<font size=-1>Yoshio Kataoka, Michael D. Ernst, William G. Griswold, and David Notkin. 
Automated support for program refactoring using invariants. In ICSM, pages 736-- 743, 
November 2001. http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/kataoka01automated.html   
<a href="http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/check/1791139">More</a></font><br>

Clicking on the 'More' link in the above text gets you a page with a listing of all the ways they found it written out as a citation in other papers. This is an example of how they mark up each of those entries:

<br>
Yoshio Kataoka, Michael D. Ernst, William G. Griswold, and David Notkin. 
<i>Automated support for program refactoring using invariants</i>.
 In ICSM, pages 736-- 743, November 2001.<br>
<br>

CiteULike.org citation listing

CiteULike is a shared reference database site that allows organization using tags and ratings. The site imports from many unstructured web resources using mostly screen-scraping plugins (I think --Mike)

Here is an example of the markup for one article on the main page:

<tr><td colspan="2"><ul><li>
<a class="title" href="/user/jrw/article/505272">Geometric phases in adiabatic open quantum systems</a>
<div class="vague"></div>

And here is markup from the detail page for another publication:

Citeproc XHTML output

I'm the author of the citeproc project, which includes a micro-format of sorts (though I never thought of it as such) in its XHTML output mode. See here for an example. The difference compared to the bibtex-derived model is that is a) more generic and b) hierachical.

It would be possible, certainly, to do a flat model if for some reason there was a good technical reason not to go hierarchical (though is there?)

The burden of proof is on *going* hierarchical, rather than a simpler flat solution. Complexity must be justified, not simplicity.

... but then you need to think outside the BibTeX box in any case. Any model of this sort ought to be able to handle legal citations, magazine articles, patents, etc. etc.; not just a narrow range of BibTeX types.

Per the microformats process, microformats are designed to support existing practice on the Web, anything else should be omitted from at least the first version.

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
• Blue Book for legal citations
• Columbia University Citation Style developed for modern internet citations
