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

68 <para>When you create a bibliography in your document, simply
\r
69 provide <emphasis>empty</emphasis> <tag>bibliomixed</tag>
\r
70 entries for each document that you wish to cite. Make sure that these
\r
71 elements have the same ID as the corresponding <quote>real</quote>
\r
72 entry in your global bibliography.</para>
\r
74 <para>For example:</para>
\r
77 <programlisting><bibliography><title>Bibliography</title>
\r
79 <bibliomixed id="xml-rec"/>
\r
80 <bibliomixed id="xml-names"/>

\r
90 <para>Note that it's perfectly acceptable to mix entries from your
\r
91 global bibliography with <quote>normal</quote> entries. You can use
\r
92 <tag>xref</tag> or other elements to cross-reference your
\r
93 bibliography entries in exactly the same way you do now.</para>
\r
95 <para>Finally, when you are ready to format your document, simply set the
\r
96 <parameter>bibliography.collection</parameter> parameter (in either a
\r
97 customization layer or directly through your processor's interface) to
\r
98 point to your global bibliography.</para>
\r
100 <para>The stylesheets will format the bibliography in your document as if
\r
101 all of the entries referenced appeared there literally.</para>
