<para>Maintaining bibliography entries across a set of documents is tedious, time
|
|
consuming, and error prone. It makes much more sense, usually, to store all of
|
|
the bibliography entries in a single place and simply <quote>extract</quote>
|
|
the ones you need in each document.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>That's the purpose of the
|
|
<parameter>bibliography.collection</parameter> parameter. To setup a global
|
|
bibliography <quote>database</quote>, follow these steps:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>First, create a stand-alone bibliography document that contains all of
|
|
the documents that you wish to reference. Make sure that each bibliography
|
|
entry (whether you use <sgmltag>biblioentry</sgmltag> or <sgmltag>bibliomixed</sgmltag>)
|
|
has an ID.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>My global bibliography, <filename>~/bibliography.xml</filename> begins
|
|
like this:</para>

<para>When you create a bibliography in your document, simply
|
|
provide <emphasis>empty</emphasis> <sgmltag>bibliomixed</sgmltag>
|
|
entries for each document that you wish to cite. Make sure that these
|
|
elements have the same ID as the corresponding <quote>real</quote>
|
|
entry in your global bibliography.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For example:</para>

<para>Note that it's perfectly acceptable to mix entries from your
|
|
global bibliography with <quote>normal</quote> entries. You can use
|
|
<sgmltag>xref</sgmltag> or other elements to cross-reference your
|
|
bibliography entries in exactly the same way you do now.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Finally, when you are ready to format your document, simply set the
|
|
<parameter>bibliography.collection</parameter> parameter (in either a
|
|
customization layer or directly through your processor's interface) to
|
|
point to your global bibliography.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The stylesheets will format the bibliography in your document as if
|
|
all of the entries referenced appeared there literally.</para>
