## Description

A `BiblioEntry` is an entry in a `Bibliography`. The contents of `BiblioEntry` is a “database” of named fields. Presentation systems frequently suppress some elements in a `BiblioEntry`.

### Processing expectations

Formatted as a displayed block.

`BiblioEntry`s are ‘raw.’ They contain a database-like collection of named fields. It is the responsibility of the processing system to select elements from within a `BiblioEntry`, present them in the correct order, and add all punctuation.

There is no expectation that a system will present all of the fields in a `BiblioEntry` or that they will be displayed in the order in which they occur.

Correct formatting of `BiblioEntry`s is an interchange issue. See Appendix F.

### Future Changes

`AuthorBlurb` and `Affiliation` will be removed from the inline content of `BiblioEntry` in DocBook V4.0. A new wrapper element will be created to associate this information with authors, editors, and other contributors.

`BookBiblio` will be discarded.

### Future Changes

`ArticleInfo` will be dropped from the content model of `BiblioEntry`.
