    <Paragraph position="0"> The overall encoding chosen for the catalogue was DocBook, an SGML/XML DTD primarily used for encoding computer manuals and other technical documentation. Choosing an SGML/XML framework follows a similar strand of research in annotating linguistic resources, as exemplified in the XML version of the Corpus Encoding Standard (Nancy et al., 2000) and in work on syntactic annotation (Nancy and Romary, 2001). An advantage of XML is the possibility of further standardisation by the use of related recommendations, i.e. the XML Stylesheet Language. null DocBook has a large user base and is well documented: a reference book has been published and is available on-line (Walsh, 1999) for browsing or downloading. There is also an interesting public initiative utilising DocBook, namely the Linux Documentation Project, LDP (http://www.linuxdoc.org/), which is working on developing free, high quality documentation for the GNU/Linux operating system.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Because DocBook is an application of SGML, and, more recently, XML, many freely available tools are available to process it. Most importantly, this includes XSL processors, which can be used to render DocBook documents in, say, HTML or PDF; this issue is further elaborated in Section 4. The complete catalogue is represented as one &lt;book&gt; element, with introductory matter in &lt;bookinfo&gt;giving the name, release information and some other general information about the catalogue. The catalogue is then divided (at present) into three &lt;chapter&gt; elements, each giving a a certain type of tools we plan to address:</Paragraph>
