Changes

Information Citation styles are the concern of an often used published material, and will differ both for the medium and for the publisher. So long as the necessary information of creator, title, enclosing work (for e.g. magazine or jouranl articles), publisher (if published) or repository (if not), date, and details (like page number) are available in the citation , the style isn't very important to the reader. Publishers want all of their publications to have a consistent style and issue style manuals to help authors prepare their work.  For a computer program like GRAMPS, the goals should be to collect all of the necessary information noted above in genealogy a way that is given on easy for users to enter, to support evidence analysis and comparison to create "proof arguments", and to link those proof arguments to the genealogical conclusions in the database.  John Yates has, with Mills's permission, encoded the elements of the specific examples in Evidence Explained: [http://jytangledweb.org/genealogy/evidencestyle/Two Computer Ready Parametrizations of "Evidence Style" Historical Sources].
