Re: [docbook-tc] personblurb in address?

[Scott Hudson <scott.hudson@flatironssolutions.com>]

Here's my situation, IHAC that is standardizing on DocBook 4.5 and has a 
variety of publications. Most are very straightforward, but they would 
also like to publish their Employee Directory using DocBook. That means 
for each entry, there will be a name, address, phone, email, etc.

They would also like to put in a biography and/or job description. This 
is where I thought personblurb would make the most sense, so the 
directory would look something like:
<book>
<title>Employee Directory</title>
<chapter>
<title>Communications Division</title>
  <address>
    <personname>
      <firstname>Scott</firstname><surname>Hudson</surname>
    </personname>
    <affiliation>
      <orgname>Flatirons Solutions</orgname>
      <orgdiv>Communications</orgdiv>
    </affiliation>
    <email>scott.hudson@flatironssolutions.com</email>
    <phone>303-542-2146</phone>
    <fax>303-544-0522</fax>
    <street>4747 Table Mesa Drive, Suite 200</street>
    <city>Boulder</city> <state>CO</state> <postcode>80305</postcode>
    <authorblurb><para>Scott likes DocBook. He's a certifiable DocBook 
geek, and a member of  the OASIS TC.</para></authorblurb>
  </address>
</chapter>
</book>

Best regards,

P.S., Plaxo is just a service I use. I got tired of maintining my 
addressbook in multiple places, and it syncs to Outlook and Thunderbird.
