think needs to be clarified is how much flexibility a data provider is to be
allowed in completing the human-readable string. Clearly we do not expect
to be able to perform direct string comparisons between two provider’s citations,
so are these just recommendations of components that should be included, or is
the intention to mandate a particular sequence of elements? Which ones
are considered (at least more or less) mandatory, and which are optional? I
guess we should provide some actual examples of “complete” and “partial”
citations and state whether they are regarded as sufficient.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
