So what would happen if you click on the link?
you get a page with a full reference, including notes and abstract &
whatever else...
How would that then relate to the mark-and-view/export interface, and
note pop-up buttons? Do me a favor and compare what you're thinking
about to this example:
http://130.83.186.203/exist/xquery/biblio.xm
xquery looks interesting -- I will check it out Real Soon Now.
The thing to look at is just the interface.
when you say 'map natural language', I take it you mean
"take data entered in fields whose names are readily comprehensible
to users, and pass the data on to the database in fields whose names
the db understands." but what's the importance of "template-defined"?
OK, you have a pop-up list with reference types of, for example:
book
edited book
journal article
legal case
film
etc.
You then choose "create new record" and a form specific to that type
is
then displayed. The template -- maybe an XML configuration file --
simply says (using ris stuff):
JOUR = "journal article"
T1 = "title"
t2 = "journal title"
I think I understand this. That should be relatively straightforward
using php...
Take a look here for something like what I'm talking about.
http://216.205.78.164:8001/bw_login2srch?
edit_loginname=guest&edit_password=guest
For some reason I can't create new references, now, so can't see the
form. Otherwise, the interface is pretty nice.
Another thing to look at that I'm quite fond of, which uses Cocoon and
the XML DB eXist, and whose author is working on updating it to support
MODS, is the MetaWizard for the SozioNet project out of Germany.
