Towards a General-Purpose Entity-Bibliography Linking System

Currently, the bibliography data on assyriology is only linked with ancient artifact entities, but it also contains information about other entities, such as important places, kingdoms, languages, etc. In order to facilitate better organization of the database, I have in mind 4 goals of expanding the reference system: 1. Adapt the old reference system to the new one. 2. Clean the current bibliography data, and identify the different types of entities that may be extracted. 3. Generalize the entity reference system from bibliography: given a citation entry, the user should be able to navigate to the various types of entities using the links in the citation entry. This would conform to cakePHP conventions so that connections are bidirectional: in the entity page, the user should also be able to view which citation entries refer to this single entity. 4. Enable single publication file submission in the current bibliography upload system.
