Formats de Citation
Cette page affichera plusieurs types différents de format de citations. L'idée est de comparer ce qui est commun parmi tout les formats et ceux qui seront fusionnés dans ce microformat.

Chart de Comparaison
Le chart suivant cartographie les termes d'une implémentation à l'autre. C'est important parce que sit toutes les propriétés sont introduites dans ce microformat, alors il sera possible de les faire correspondre à un certain nombre de différents formats. La table n'utilise actuellement que Dublin Core, MODS, et bibTeX. Chaque colonne a toutes les propriétés et leurs équivalents dans chaque format. S'il n'y a pas de propriété correspondante, la cellule est grise. En bas de la liste les termes uniques pour chaque format. Dublin core a des termes basiques et des termes qui étendent les basiques. Si la propriété est une extension d'un terme basique elle est entre ()'s. MODS utilise XML, ainsi n'importe quelle sous propriété est listé dans sa forme arbre, propriété/sous-propriété.
CECI N'EST PAS DEFINITIF, toute erreur devrait être corrigée. Des formats supplémentaires seront ajoutés à la liste au fur et à mesure qu'ils seront cartographiés.

Guidelines for Encoding Bibliographic Citation Information in Dublin Core Metadata
MODS (Metadata Object Description Schema)
Un format développé pour la Bibliothèque du Congrès pour un ensemble d'élément bibliographique qui peut être utilisé pour plusieurs objectifs et particulièrement pour les applications de Bibliothèque.
http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/
(le schéma est très gros, une fois que je consacrerai le temps approprié pour le critiquer, je posterai plus à propos de la structure -brian)
NLM Journal Publishing DTD
http://dtd.nlm.nih.gov/publishing/tag-library/2.1/n-fv30.html
La NLM Journal Publishing DTD définit le schéma pour publier des articles de journaux sous XML. L'élément
<citation>
peut être placé avec des paragraphes ou dans un élément
<ref-list>
à la fin de l'article.
"Bien que la DTD ne l'exécute pas, une citation vers un article de journal devrait être taguée avec autant que possible ce qui suit, de façon que PubMed Central, CrossRef, ou d'autres services équivalents puissent produire la citation dans un lien vivant :
source | Le titre d'un journal, livre, comptes-rendus de conférence, etc. qui est la source d'un contenu cité. (Note : Dans le processus PubMed Central, ceci est typiquement l'abréviation MEDLINE du nom du journal.) |
article-title | Titre de l'article |
volume | Volume du journal |
issue | Numéro du journal |
fpage | Numéro de page sur lequel l'article démarre |
name | Nom de l'auteur et de l'éditeur |
year | Année de publication |
month | Mois de publication (si présent) |
day | Date de publication (si présent) |
Les autres éléments (décrits ici) peuvent être tagués si désiré. Utilisez l'élément <source> pour les titres de livres, comptes-rendus de conférences, etc."

OpenURL
OpenURL aka Z39.88 defines a standard way of bundling citation data in a URL. It is widely deployed in academic libraries around the world to provide access to licensed content via link resolvers such as SFX. The Context Object in Span (COinS) community standard represents one way to embed OpenURLs in XHTML without including a resolver target. OpenURL also provides an XML encoding.
Exemple (extrait d'une critique de livre écrite en utilisant le plugin Structured Blogging) :
<p><b>ISBN</b>: <span class='Z3988' title='ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:book&rft.isbn=0679426612'> 0679426612</span></p>
Un autre exemple, un journal :
<span class="Z3988" title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&rft.issn=1045-4438"></span>
As you can see this isn't very much like semantic XHTML at all. However significant work has gone into defining the set of Key/Encoded Values (KEVs) that can be used in various types of citations: book, dissertation, journal, patent. It would be possible to simply provide a standard XHTML bundling for these keys as a microformat.
Exemple
<div class="openurl-journal"> <span class="aulast">Berners-Lee</span>, <span class="aufirst">Tim</a>; Hendler, James; Lassila, Ora.</span> "<span class="atitle">The Semantic Web</span>". <span class="jtitle">Scientific American</span> <span class="volume">284</span>(<span class="issue">5</span>), pp. pp. <span class="pages">34-43</span>. <span class="issn">0036-8733</span> </div>
Using OpenURL in this way would enable third party applications that could, say grab citation metadata from a blog, and without much work fire it off at your university's or public libraries openurl resolver to see if the article is available via a licensed databases. The benefits have been noted elsewhere.
OpenURL Rapidement Expliqué
An OpenURL consists of two independent parts: the ContextObject (or the bibliographic metadata surrounding a citation) and the location of resolver to parse the metadata and present contextual services based on said metadata. The problem is that the term "OpenURL" is also used as a catch-all for all of the independent parts and how they work. This is mainly because it's a catchier term than "Z39.88", which is the NISO standard all this is based upon.
The most common representation of the OpenURL ContextObject is seen as arguments in a URL string (which is referred to as "San Antonio Profile 1" -- more commonly SAP1 -- and is represented in Key Encoded Values -- KEVs). This "representation" is independent of the ContextObject (from here on known as CO) itself and is only intended to permit the CO to be transmitted via an HTTP GET request.
There is also SAP2, which is an XML representation of the CO (see: here for more information) and is a much more human readable format. This still falls outside the scope of microformats, but makes the point that encoding has nothing to do with the CO itself. They are just agreed upon means of conveying the CO to enable machines act upon them consistently.
The ContextObject could be conveyed just as easily in XHTML using attributes, as long as the terms follow the vocabulary defined in the OpenURL framework. The important thing to focus on here is the ContextObject -- the address of the link resolver is institution-specific and should be handled by a user's (or machine's) activating agent.
However, the link resolver is still a very important component to this whole process. Getting users "appropriate copy" is a very real (and very difficult) problem that libraries are trying to solve. Link resolvers are a pretty efficient means of overcoming this hurdle, so it would make sense to mark up bibiographic citations in a way that link resolvers can easily parse.

Schéma Implicite
This is the start of the short list of common properties across documented formats. Once this is finished, there will be a union of Implied schemas between EXAMPLES and IMPLEMENTATIONS and we will see what that looks like. (This currently only covers a few of the formats listed, some documented formats still need to be explored)
- creator (author, editor, translator, contributor) - this can be handled with hCard, but will need an additional property to refine what "creator" means
- publisher (this can also be handled with hCard)
- subject/topics/keywords/categories/genre (there is a rel="tag" microformat)
- Description (abstract, note, tableOfContents)
- typeOfResource/format
common location information
- volume
- issue
- page
- edition
Date Fields
- Date Published (some formats have YEAR/MONTH sperately)
- Date accessed (see here for examples)
Again, I'll emphasize: "date published" is problematic. If one needs specificity, then better to have the following list of date classes: date (the generic), issued (braoder than published), copyright (often not the same as issuance date), accessed. -- bruce
Other fields
- Copyright/usage
- audience
- identifier (ISBN, ISSN, id, internal only, other)
- language (this can be handled by the xml:lang attribute native to HTML)
Types et Roles
(Section is informative only as a place to capture various parts of publication citations.)
There are many different types of publications and this information should be captured in the citation. Possible types include:
- Novel/fiction (specify type -- literature, SF, romance, etc.?)
- Non-fiction
- Poem
- Play
- Magazine
- Reference (separate out encyclopedia, dictionary, almanac, etc.?)
- Journal
- Article within a journal
- Chapter within a book
- Dissertation
- Web Site
- Page within a web site
- Music Recording
- Video Recording
- Interview
- Physical object (Statue, Painting, etc.)
- ??
Question: Certain works have specific types of citations, for example, the Bible--and, I assume, other religious works--have very specific citation formats with different relevant information (chapter/verse) than others, as do the works of Shakespeare. Should these be considered separate types/roles?
A: I think in terms of types, we should at least note the items (chapter, verse, etc). How they get dealt with is still way up in the air. - Tim White
Likewise, there are several different roles associated with publications -- author, co-author, editor, translator, etc. Should these be captured under a master "role" or treated as individual elements?
A: Good question. I think there is an important distinction, but whether we follow a design pattern of "role-*" (or more likely "author-*) or some other pattern hasn't been discussed yet. - Tim
Biblio RDF Class Schema
Regading the issue of types notes above, the biblio schema provides a comprehensive set of classes to describe citation metadata. It might prove useful as a guide for a micro-format. The primary classes are Agent, Reference, Collection, and Event. An "Article", then, would be a subclass of "Part", which in turn is a subclass of Reference. Likewise, a "Journal" is a subclass of a "Periodical," which in turn is a subclass of "Collection." An article would typically be linked to a journal through a dcterms:isPartOf relation.
ISBN:// Protocol
RFC3187 defines an isbn protocol
Example:
I'm not sure if any browser uses this data, but it might be have an application in citations describing registered materials with an ISBN
Vous devriez savoir
- There are more then 1.300 citation styles in EndNote 9.
- Libraries have developed formats and rules for publications since more than 100 years. There are millions of records in library catalougues. You should at least be familiar with AACR and FRBR. There already are effords to create a new "microformat" called Resource Description and Access (RDA) [1]. Why don't you try to work with the professionals instead of amateurishly trying to reinvent the wheel and create yet another incompatible format? -- JakobVoss 01:39, 5 Jun 2006 (PDT)
- I agree that the people involved in developing this microformat (including me) ought to be aware of these efforts (in particular FRBR), but I also think your argument is hopelessly naive and pretentious. The professionals you refer to are in fact library professionals, with their own bizarre traditios and unique information needs. Those are different than the professional scholars for whom citations are critical (me), or to the professional web developers who might want to implement these formats. What I do think is important is for us to understand the different design traditions, and their trade-offs, rather than to blindly create a microformat based on one of them -- Bruce (author of citeproc [2] and csl [3]).
Nice to meet you, Bruce! Maybe I'm naive but it still think that there is a way to combine the best of both worlds: scholars and library professionals. Both have developed bizarre traditions and it would be a pitty to create a new bizarre microformat that is not based on both of them. Thanks to your links to xbiblio. I a stumbled upon it a while ago but have to look at it deeper. -- JakobVoss 11:48, 19 Jul 2006 (PDT)
