## Description

`BiblioSet` is a “raw” wrapper for a collection of bibliographic information.

The purpose of this wrapper is to assert the relationship that binds the collection. For example, in a `BiblioEntry` for an article in a journal, you might use two `BiblioSet`s to wrap the fields related to the article and the fields related to the journal.

### Processing expectations

Formatted as a displayed block.

`BiblioSet`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 `BiblioSet`, 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 `BiblioSet` or that they will be displayed in the order in which they occur.

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

### Future Changes

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

These elements contain biblioset: `appendixinfo`, `articleinfo`, `biblioentry`, `bibliographyinfo`, `bibliomixed`, `bibliomset`, `biblioset`, `bookinfo`, `chapterinfo`, `glossaryinfo`, `indexinfo`, `objectinfo`, `partinfo`, `prefaceinfo`, `refentryinfo`, `referenceinfo`, `refsect1info`, `refsect2info`, `refsect3info`, `refsynopsisdivinfo`, `sect1info`, `sect2info`, `sect3info`, `sect4info`, `sect5info`, `sectioninfo`, `setindexinfo`, `setinfo`, `sidebarinfo`.
