Output formats[edit]

snippet[edit]

is an XML format of the data, defined by the eSciDoc Item.xsd schema. It is enriched with the HTML formatted output of the selected citation style e.g. APA as

<dcterms:bibliographicCitation/>

in the

<content-model-specific/>

part of the item XML representation.

Example:

<dcterms:bibliographicCitation xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/">
  <![CDATA[
    <span class="Default">Sengbusch, R. v.
      <span class="DisplayDateStatus"> (1963).</span> 
    </span>
    <span class="Italic">FISCHE "OHNE GRÄTEN".</span>
    <span class="Default"><br/></span>
  ]]>
</dcterms:bibliographicCitation>

html_plain[edit]

is a list of exported citations in plain HTML format with basic formatting. Any formatted element of the citation is surrounded with classed tag, thereby it can be referenced by css selector later in local CMS system:
