Remarks

bibl may contain a mix of text and more specific elements such as title, edition, persName, and corpName. This element may also function as a hypertext reference to an external electronic resource. Do not confuse this element with ref, which does not provide special bibliographic sub-elements. This element is modelled on elements in the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) and Encoded Archival Description (EAD) standards.
