Elizabeth Shown Mills' has a [https://www.evidenceexplained.com/ website] that includes [https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content/sample-text-pages sample text pages] from Evidence Explained, [https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content/sample-quickcheck-models sample QuickCheck Models] and a [https://www.evidenceexplained.com/forums/evidence-explained forum] that includes exhaustively extensive discussions of citation issues.
 
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].

As an example of discussions of use of Evidence Explained we may consider citation for the UK Census. [http://www.rootsuk.com/researchguide/census_page.htm Anatomy of a Census Page] provides quite a good general illustration of the use of Class, Piece, Folio and Page (though it shows only the 1891 census). [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/CUMBERLAND/2007-03/1175373358 UK Census Citations] shows how this scheme applies to other censuses.
 
In a [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/APG/2009-08/1249249224 rootsweb mailing list] ESN proposes the following reference:
<pre>
1861 census of England, Middlesex, Shoreditch, Haggerstone East,
Haggerstone St. Mary, folio 5, page 4, household 16, William Loe;
PRO HO 9/249, The National Archives, Kew, Surrey, UK;
via Family History microfilm 542,590;
imaged in the database "1861 England Census," _Ancestry.com_
(www.ancestry.com : 2 August 2009).</pre>
There is a subsequent extensive discussion that may (or may not?) suggest changing (part of) the reference to
<pre>
Office for National Statistics, London; Census - England & Wales - 1861;
RG09/3753 Folio 12 Page 17, Schedule No. 86; Durham, Newbottle, District 6;
The National Archives, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 4DU.
</pre>
 
In a separate discussion in the [https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content/1841-british-census Evidence Explained forum], 'Ann' asks:
<pre>
EE page 303 shows an example for the 1841 census.
 
This is my start for my citation;
 
1841 census of England, Warwickshire, [city], [parish], folio 6, lines 5-15,
William Vero household;
digital image Ancestry.com, (http://www.ancestry.com : accessed 24 September 2004);
citing PRO HO 107/1127/10
</pre>
'AdrianB' proposes:
<pre>
1841 census of England,
Warwickshire, Atherston, William Vero household;
digital image Ancestry.com, (http://www.ancestry.com : accessed 24 September 2004);
citing The National Archives of the UK, HO 107 piece 1127 book 10, folio 6, p. 4, lines 5-15
</pre>
(because the folio and page are part of the TNA reference) which ESM calls workable but queries whether there is enough geographical information, while 'Ann' comes up with the following reference:
<pre>
1841 Census of England,
Warwickshire, Atherston Township, Hemlingford Hundred, Mancetter Parish, Enumeration District (ED) 1,
folio 6, p. 4, lines 5-15, Long Street, William Vero household;
digital image, Ancestry.com, (http://www.ancestry.com : accessed 24 September 2004);
citing PRO HO 107/1127/10.
</pre>
(line breaks inserted for easy comparison).

We need for this
# fix of [http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=2332]bug {{bug|2332 }} [done]
# convert [http://jytangledweb.org/genealogy/evidencestyle/evidence_style.ods] to format usable in Gramps, so sourcetypes, source attribute types, ..., and business logic Evidence (no templates needed, all business logic) [partially done]
# Adapt GUI to allow Evidence style sources input. Is a database change needed? Don't think so at the moment.
