Hi, citations in scholarly publishing have a long history of at-time acrimonious disagreement over the exact format one should set them in. There can be long arguments about the how and why of some specific detail, but these are all about visual presentation. I have yet to hear someone discuss the best format to use for the *content*, when in digital form, such that it is most accessible. By applying some technology, we can reformat a citation for visual rendering. We can even make citation formatting follow readers' preferences rather than publishers'. But when doing so the HTML-level encoding of the citations should be optimised for semantic, non-visual access. So my question is: has anyone given thought to what the best order of content and best markup practices would be for optimally accessible citations?
