[Download TEI-XML Source Files (with DTD and XSL)]
This bibliography of books and articles on Yogācāra is compiled
based on the guidelines for XML encoding set forth by the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI),
using, in particular, TEI's recommended format for Structured
Bibliographies— the <biblStruct>
element and its sub-elements. It is the central aim of TEI to
provide a standard for the smooth interchange of digitized scholarly
research information, and thus to overcome the impediments and
information loss incurred by proprietary software systems. Therefore, if
you are motivated to supply further bibliographical information for this
page, we would like to ask you to take a look at this simple set of
templates and try to adopt them.
The basic format is fairly straightforward. Using XML structure, the <biblStruct> tag encloses
one full bibliographical entry. The entry will include standard
bibliographical data that are further enclosed by such tags as <title>, <author>, <publisher>, <date>, etc. <biblStruct> is a good
example of the application of XML structural rules, in that if you put
the tags in an illogical order, or you mispell, or forget to close a
tag, XML editing software (actually the parsing program in that
software) will reject it. One should keep in mind that this is only a storage format, and has little to do
with how it is actually displayed. The display is handled by an XSL
style sheet, which can output the data according to whatever format one
needs.
XML tags also have what are
known as attributes, which
gives them further flexibility and power. As you will see in the
examples below, the <title>
tag has the following variants:
<title level="m"> : This indicates a published manuscript, which will normally be
italicized on presentation.
<title level="u"> : This indicates an unpublished manuscript, such as a
dissertation.
<title level="a"> : "a" means analytic,
referring to an article in a journal or volume.
<title level="j"> : "j" means journal.
<title level="s"> : "s" means series.
This is just one example of a typical TEI structure. For more
complete study, please go to the TEI
Web Site.
Now, for the examples (you can copy and paste these as templates to
make your own entries). As you can see, you don't need to worry about
the punctuation (periods, commas, colons, quotes, etc.) as these are
generated by the style sheet according to needs of the particular
publication situation. You can see how these are displayed by looking at
the bibliography itself:

If you have any entries you can help us with, please just copy one
of these samples to your computer, replace/revise as necessary, and send
it on over. If you have a case that seems to lie outside of these five
(there will be some) you might want to solve it by taking a look at the
TEI site. If not, please write to me, and I'll be glad to help.
