| 25 | <para>Maintaining bibliography entries across a set of documents is tedious, time
|
---|
| 26 | consuming, and error prone. It makes much more sense, usually, to store all of
|
---|
| 27 | the bibliography entries in a single place and simply <quote>extract</quote>
|
---|
| 28 | the ones you need in each document.</para>
|
---|
| 29 |
|
---|
| 30 | <para>That's the purpose of the
|
---|
| 31 | <parameter>bibliography.collection</parameter> parameter. To setup a global
|
---|
| 32 | bibliography <quote>database</quote>, follow these steps:</para>
|
---|
| 33 |
|
---|
| 34 | <para>First, create a stand-alone bibliography document that contains all of
|
---|
| 35 | the documents that you wish to reference. Make sure that each bibliography
|
---|
| 36 | entry (whether you use <tag>biblioentry</tag> or <tag>bibliomixed</tag>)
|
---|
| 37 | has an ID.</para>
|
---|
| 38 |
|
---|
| 39 | <para>My global bibliography, <filename>~/bibliography.xml</filename> begins

| 68 | <para>When you create a bibliography in your document, simply
|
---|
| 69 | provide <emphasis>empty</emphasis> <tag>bibliomixed</tag>
|
---|
| 70 | entries for each document that you wish to cite. Make sure that these

| 71 | elements have the same ID as the corresponding <quote>real</quote>
|

| 72 | entry in your global bibliography.</para>

| 90 | <para>Note that it's perfectly acceptable to mix entries from your

| 91 | global bibliography with <quote>normal</quote> entries. You can use

| 92 | <tag>xref</tag> or other elements to cross-reference your

| 93 | bibliography entries in exactly the same way you do now.</para>
|
---|
| 94 |
|

| 95 | <para>Finally, when you are ready to format your document, simply set the
|
---|
| 96 | <parameter>bibliography.collection</parameter> parameter (in either a

---|
| 97 | customization layer or directly through your processor's interface) to
|

|
---|
| 107 | </listitem>
|

| 108 | <listitem>

| 109 | <para>If your document does contain links to empty bibliographic elements,

| 111 | the first such link element in the document.</para>
|
---|
| 112 | </listitem>
|
---|
| 113 | </orderedlist>
|
---|
| 114 | <para>Once the collection file is opened by the first instance described
|
---|
| 115 | above, it stays open for the current document
|
---|
| 116 | and the relative path is not reinterpreted again.</para>
