The page Citation_in_digital_scholarship describes a convention for indicating citations that relies on the 'class' and 'title' attributes when implemented in (x)html.

This page describes an extension of that convention to encompass adding Microformats and CTS identifiers to conformant citations.

Sample sentence: "vd. Ath. Deipn. I".

Microformats + CTS

<a class="citation" target="_blank" href="http://fragments-repo.appspot.com/CTS?request=GetPassagePlus&withXSLT=true&urn=urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0008.tlg001.fhg01:1&inv=fhg-inventory.xml">
  <cite class="ctref">
   Ath. 
   Deipn. 
   I 
   
  </cite>
</a>

The idea is to store in the @title a machine-understandable value representing a citation segment as described in the Microformats abbr-design pattern.

The element is used to include further semantics.

In this example CTS URNs are used to provide identifiers for authors, works and work editions (see the CHS Canon for a full list).
