The examples help, but the list of required and permitted tags for the various publication and title records is still needed, IMO. In particular, the meaning and use of the "Subject" tag and how it differers from the "Title" tag is unclear, as is the various possible things that can go in the content tag for PubUpdate and NewPub records. This isn't yet quite enough to let someone construct useful submissions, i think. -[[User:DESiegel60|DES]] <sup>[[User talk:DESiegel60|Talk]]</sup> 17:08, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Copying this question from the policy pages... Ok, guys, I've looked at the xml formats and I gotta tell you. I have, from that page, absolutely NO IDEA how I would format an xml entry to give you the table-of-contents of an issue of JBU. I'm _willing_ you understand, but I'll be gosh darned if I can see how I tell you that A. Bertram Chandler's "The Giant Killer" was reprinted in Vol 2 Number 1 of JBU in June of 2007. What would that XML look like? We would PREFER to have an automated submission, but golly-gee-wilikers-batman, I don't see a way to do that. (I'm probably being stupid.)

The examples help, but the list of required and permitted tags for the various publication and title records is still needed, IMO. In particular, the meaning and use of the "Subject" tag and how it differers from the "Title" tag is unclear, as is the various possible things that can go in the content tag for PubUpdate and NewPub records.

They're on their way - only had time to collect the examples last night. There are other formats to include as well. Alvonruff 20:23, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
