25 <para>Maintaining bibliography entries across a set of documents is tedious, time
26 consuming, and error prone. It makes much more sense, usually, to store all of
27 the bibliography entries in a single place and simply <quote>extract</quote>
28 the ones you need in each document.</para>
29
30 <para>That's the purpose of the
31 <parameter>bibliography.collection</parameter> parameter. To setup a global
32 bibliography <quote>database</quote>, follow these steps:</para>
33
34 <para>First, create a stand-alone bibliography document that contains all of
35 the documents that you wish to reference. Make sure that each bibliography
36 entry (whether you use <tag>biblioentry</tag> or <tag>bibliomixed</tag>)
37 has an ID.</para>
38
39 <para>My global bibliography, <filename>~/bibliography.xml</filename> begins
40 like this:</para>

68 <para>When you create a bibliography in your document, simply
69 provide <emphasis>empty</emphasis> <tag>bibliomixed</tag>
70 entries for each document that you wish to cite. Make sure that these
71 elements have the same ID as the corresponding <quote>real</quote>
72 entry in your global bibliography.</para>

91 global bibliography with <quote>normal</quote> entries. You can use
92 <tag>xref</tag> or other elements to cross-reference your
93 bibliography entries in exactly the same way you do now.</para>
94
95 <para>Finally, when you are ready to format your document, simply set the
96 <parameter>bibliography.collection</parameter> parameter (in either a
97 customization layer or directly through your processor's interface) to
98 point to your global bibliography.</para>

100 <para>The stylesheets will format the bibliography in your document as if
101 all of the entries referenced appeared there literally.</para>
