Vocabulary for document references and bibliography markup

The bibscope vocabulary provides a semantic framework for the markup of in-text references, bibliographic footnotes and annotated bibliography entries within a HTML5-based web page. This vocabulary is used in connection with the attributes itemscope, itemtype and itemprop to annotate the content of HTML5 elements.

Bibscope annotation is illustrated for various bibliographic entry types including article, book, booklet and website/page. The itemscope attribute simply “creates” an item—a bibliographic entry that is specified via the itemtype attribute. The itemprop attribute, then, allows to annotate descendands (child nodes) of the specified item node. Bibscope annotation is illustrated for various bibliographic entry types: book, journal article, patent, blog post, web document and website.

The following table list the terms that are valid bibscope properties. The basic set of terms mirrors the names of BibTeX tags (BibTeX field names) defined through the BibTeX format. Bibscope extends the BibTex set by introducing terms targeting particular web-based resources. In addition, various terms for document items such as tables, figures and side boxes have been included to support the generation of richly annotated bibliographies in HTML language.
