Subject: Metadata & Bibliography work (Bibus as a possible example?)
FYI, for those of you who are looking at metadata & improving bibliographic citation work, here's some related work to look at. On NewsForge there is a recent article about "Bibus", a bibliography application that currently supports OpenOffice.org (and presumably could be modified to support other OpenDocument applications too). Details at: http://software.newsforge.com/software/06/01/27/2213251.shtml Bibus must have an internal data model of citations, and if it's truly able to handle many different formats, then perhaps it'd be a worthy example of a citation data model. I would VERY much like to see strong bibliographic support in OpenDocument applications; that could be a distinguishing (and VERY useful) capability. Perhaps examining Bibus would be helpful in determining how to improve things. (Yes, I know there's more to metadata than citations, but right now I perceive improved citation/reference support as the most immediate need.) --- David A. Wheeler
