Ad-hoc committee on encoding of bibliographic citations

Charge

At its meeting on 2010-02-07, the TEI Council discussed bug 2714682 and reached consensus that biblScope should not be allowed as a child of imprint since the prose definition of the imprint element does not include such content as might be included in one or more biblScope elements. Laurent Romary, Martin Holmes, and Kevin Hawkins were charged with writing a proposal to make it clear how to use biblScope for various types of bibliographic citations. The proposal should corrected, annotated (with XML comments) examples for the Guidelines of encoding various types of citations in biblStruct (and maybe also bibl and biblFull). It was suggested that the ad-hoc committee also look at how citations are handled in other encoding schemes.
