Hi Bruce, hi bibliographers, Just some quick comments: 1. I am missings "handbook/manual" in your type list. And when you're at it, you could add "painting" as well... and "RSS feed"? In the end you'll have to acknowledge that new types of documents may arise in the future and that certain people always have specific types of document that you, I and all the others cannot foresee. 2. Writing a list of types in one language is one thing. But please bear in mind that you'll have to find a suitable (uniqe!) translation for each type for any other common language. I mention this, because in the current German translation of OOo there is still two times the entry "Tagungsbericht" and additionally the entry "Konferenzbericht". If you ask me I couln't tell the difference between the three. (It's all more or less "conference proceedings".) 3. My idea about this is an internet repository where people can upload new proposed document types AND their translations for certain languages. Someone will have to look over them, ensure they are correctly translated and approve them for public usage. .. A sort of standardization process, so to speak. (P.S. I havn't looked at the other aspects of you schema yet.)
