Subject: Re: [xsl] xslt and citations in openoffice (was Re: [xsl] keys and variables) From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2004 16:28:02 -0400 |
In other words, at the level of the XML, the OpenOffice solution would look a lot the DocBook stuff I'm working with now, with the only difference that it has to hold presentation display code as well.
When inserting citations, they would likely be pre-rendered (so as to not force a constant recycling of the xslt process). If a user changes styles, the xslt is run on the MODS document, and the citation-body content is regenerated.
How's that?
So imagine an application built on open XML and XSLT, using a rich metadata standard, and built from the ground up to query and ingest remote resources as easily as it does local records (the Library of Congress catalog in fact serves MODS records). Many scholars would ditch Word for OpenOffice in a heartbeat if they had a decent bibliographic tool, which is the goal of this work.
Is the glass starting to fill? ;-)
Cheers, Wendell
