How to refer to a BiblioEntry


Hi all,

Is there a standard way to refer to a BiblioEntry?

I use DocBook 4.0, the XML version.

Currently I refer to a BiblioEntry like this:

<citation><xref linkend="Walsh2000"/></citation>

And I define the BiblioEntry like this:

<biblioentry id="Walsh2000"><abbrev>Walsh2000</abbrev>  .. etc

Is this the right way to refer to biblio entries? And is there a
standard to use for biblioentry IDs / abbrevs, like 'AuthorYear' or
something?

If the stylesheet is clever enough it can extract the id from the
biblioentry and display that as the abbreviation, instead of the abbrev
element.

regards,

Edgar Vonk
