Bennett Launches Site on citeproc-js Legal Citation Features
From the post:
Professor Frank Bennett of the Nagoya University Graduate School of Law has launched CitationStylist, a new Website that provides information and tools related to the legal citation “features of the citeproc-js citation formatter.”
The CitationStlist site styles are based on “Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (Columbia Law Review Ass’n et al. eds., 19th ed. 2010).” Styles used in the United States and courts therein.
US based legal topic maps will be using those styles for presentation of legal citations so this will be a very valuable tool.
Does anyone know of an equivalent tool for non-US citations?
Patrick,
Hi, I just came across your post during a vanity trawl of the Web. If you’ve been following http://citationstylist.org/ you’ll have picked it up already, but just in case: six styles are in the initial development bundle (McGill [en], McGill [fr], OSCOLA, Chicago Fullnote, Wisconsin Court Style [to avoid the wrath of the Bluebook editors, who don’t seem to like the project much], and New Zealand Law).
Integration tests are being captured from style proofsheets as we go along, and when the dust settles on this initial set of core styles, we will have foundation metadata, CSL coding patterns and maintenance tools in place that should lighten the development of additional styles added to the set.
Thanks for your interest in the project. Let me know if you have any questions.
