| <h2>An New Approach to Bibliographic Content Analysis</h2> |

| <td>Following on from the ideas discussed about a new approach to the |
| OOoBib user interface. I have started a new analysis of the decision |
| structure and attributes of a bibliographic system. However, not |
| starting from library catalogue data as is usually done but from the |
| Style Guide of the type the user might be attempting to implement / |
| use. I extracted the information and descision points that the Style |
| Guide considered important. I am using a mindmap program called <a |
| href="http://freemind.sourceforge.net/">freemind</a> (the developent |
| version 0.8.0 RC3) to collect and organise the data. (It is a java |
| program so should run on most systems) A high level graphic diagram |
| of my first effort is shown bwlow. This provide some interesting |
| insights and starts to suggest some user interface options</td> |

| <td valign="top" align="left">In the <a href="OOoBib-all.png">Expanded |
| Image</a> the Red Flag entries represent Descisions (that have no |
| particular data requirements) that the user needs to make about the |
| bibliographic format to be used (so they are possible radio-buttons |
| in the GUI). The descision paths with out flags mostly have data |
| elements that are associated with them. |
| |
| <p>A good way to Browse the information is through the the <a |
| href="http://users.bigpond.com/dnwilson/mindmap/OOoBib.html">HTML</a> |
| data export version that has 'clickable' javascript nodes (click on |
| the [-] and [+} symbols). <span style="font-size: 8pt">(This is on my |
| DNW's web site because OOo's site stops the javascript |
| working)</span></p> |
| |
| <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Matthias Basler suggested the idea that |
| in dealing with <span style="font-style: oblique">Persons</span> we |
| could select a person from our list and then assign their |
| relationship to the referenced work. I thought their would be several |
| relationships like Author, editor etc. but I have come up with 34 ! |
| (see the list on the left) and there are sure to more. So this |
| approach is much better than having 34+ data entry boxes for each |
| type of person !</p> |
| |
| <p>Most of these are relationships shown are those that Bibliographic |
| system needs to use in constructing the correct Bibliographic entries |
| from my style guide (Based on the Chicago Manual of Style). I have |
| made up a few of the for illustration purposes i.e. Video and Audio |
| as I have not looked at the comprehensive style guide - I will do |
| that soon.</p> |
| |
| <p>Of course most of these 'Person' relationships are only relevant |
| to particular reference types. For example probably only Video & |
| Audio have 'Performed by Person(s)' & 'Produced by Person(s)' and |
| 'Recording Engineer Person(s)'.</p> |
