## Description

`BiblioMSet` is a “cooked” wrapper for a collection of bibliographic information.

The purpose of this wrapper is to assert the relationship that binds the collection. For example, in a `BiblioMixed` entry for an article in a journal, you might use two `BiblioMSet`s to wrap the fields related to the article and the fields related to the journal.

### Processing expectations

Formatted as a displayed block.

`BiblioMSet`s are “cooked.” In addition to named fields, they can contain interspersed `#PCDATA` to provide punctuation and other formatting information.

The processing system is generally expected to present each and every element in the set, all interspersed `#PCDATA`, in the order in which it occurs.

### Future Changes

`AuthorBlurb` and `Affiliation` will be removed from the inline content of `BiblioMSet` in DocBook V4.0. A new wrapper element will be created to associate this information with authors, editors, and other contributors.

### Future Changes

`BiblioSet` will be removed from the content model of `BiblioMSet`. Allowing a “raw” container inside a “cooked” one confuses processing expectations.

### Parents

These elements contain bibliomset: `bibliomixed`, `bibliomset`.

### Children

The following elements occur in bibliomset: `abbrev`, `abstract`, `address`, `affiliation`, `artpagenums`, `author`, `authorblurb`, `authorgroup`, `authorinitials`, `bibliocoverage`, `biblioid`, `bibliomisc`, `bibliomset`, `bibliorelation`, `biblioset`, `bibliosource`, `citebiblioid`, `citetitle`, `collab`, `confgroup`, `contractnum`, `contractsponsor`, `contrib`, `copyright`, `corpauthor`, `corpname`, `date`, `edition`, `editor`, `firstname`, `honorific`, `indexterm`, `invpartnumber`, `isbn`, `issn`, `issuenum`, `lineage`, `orgname`, `othercredit`, `othername`, `pagenums`, `personname`, `printhistory`, `productname`, `productnumber`, `pubdate`, `publisher`, `publishername`, `pubsnumber`, `releaseinfo`, `revhistory`, `seriesvolnums`, `subtitle`, `surname`, `title`, `titleabbrev`, `volumenum`.
