<H1 CLASS="western" ALIGN=CENTER>Suggestions for an design approach
to the OpenOffice Bibliographic Data Entry / Edit GUI Interface
Panels.</H1>
<P>By David Wilson</P>
<P>Version 1.0 30/8/2004</P>
<H2 CLASS="western">Objective</H2>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">The design problem is to provide the
bibliographic user with bibliographic entry GUI interface panels
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">with a simple and familiar design that
would look would look (initially) like Endnotes etc. That is they
would not be confronted with new concepts or data items on the first
simple panel. If the user has very simple requirement - A high school
essay with 15 simple citations they would not need to deal with
anything different. However, we need to next design &nbsp;'Advanced
Options' panels which would provide the user with the richer set of
MODS Options as well. These could be set as the default input when
the user became familiar with the concepts of resource type etc.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><BR>
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">An example of sort of simple
bibliographic data entry panel (Bibkeeper) is -</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><BR>

<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><IMG SRC="GUI-MODS-proposal_html_33aa2a15.jpg" NAME="Graphic1" ALIGN=LEFT WIDTH=515 HEIGHT=296 BORDER=0><BR CLEAR=LEFT><BR>
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">Instead of the 'Bibtex source' tab we
could have an 'Advanced Options' Tab or Tabs. Which would include the
special MODS attributes such as originInfo, location, relatedItem,
'type of resource', issuance, genre, extent unit (eg. Page) etc. It
would also provide access to the more complex MODS name fields for
Given and Family names.
</P>
<H2 CLASS="western">Approach
</H2>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">The suggestion put forward here was
inspired by some comments by Chris Putnam on his bibutils project.
(see
<A HREF="http://www.scripps.edu/~cdputnam/software/bibutils/mods_intro.html">http://www.scripps.edu/~cdputnam/software/bibutils/mods_intro.html</A>
)</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><BR>
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 2.2cm; margin-bottom: 0cm">“<FONT SIZE=2 STYLE="font-size: 11pt">The
biggest problem for using MODS as an intermediate XML format for
converting between different bibliographies may be one of scope. MODS
appears to have been defined for people who want to extensively
characterize their references, and it lacks a field with a simple 1:1
relationship to typical bibliographic reference types used in
bibliography programs. Instead the information appears to be
scattered across a number of different fields which have to be looked
up to sort out what sort of reference type a particular reference is
(which is the most basic sort of information programs like BibTeX and
EndNote require).”</FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 2.2cm; margin-bottom: 0cm"><BR>
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><FONT SIZE=3>This set me thinking that
the list of bibtext types to the various MODS fields is similar to
that of dealing with the GUI interface as we need a form for each
bibliographic 'record type' but, as Chris has pointed out above,
there is no single user orientated record type descriptor in MODS.</FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><BR>
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><FONT SIZE=3>I suggest we establish a
table that defines user orientated record types. This table could
include the standard bibliographic types books, articles, reports
etc, as well as any the other possible collections eg laws
legislation, Law acts, legal decisions, CDs, DVDs</FONT>, coins,
stamps, plants, prize bulls etc.
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><BR>
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">The MODS fields that define each record
type would detailed in this table. (The example below is only an
indicative and partial list). This table could be used to parse the
MODS input to allocate the correct form for the record type or
alternatively when opening a GUI form this table would provide the
selection criteria by which the records of the entire set of
collections where filtered for access by the form.</P>
