> It looks like you already have a localBiblio definition, it's just a matter of adding entries for other specifications you need. Is PlainLiteral a specification, or a section within RDF11-CONCEPTS? If a reference to concepts, usually done as an anchor within a cite to the specific fragment within the document, followed by a normative reference using [[!RDF11-CONCEPTS]].

I'm told that respec now uses a bibliography that has all w3c TRs in 
it.   So it should know [[rdf11-concepts]] and [[rdf-plainliteral]] 
already.      It's case-sensitive, though -- use whatever the 
www.w3.org/TR/ URL uses.   If you don't like that, I'm told:

use the "FOO": { "aliasOf": "BAR" } construct.

Also, anyone can add to the shared biblio know, but it requires some git 
skills.   See
