Hi everybody, the following post doesn't contain any concrete idea or question regarding BibDesk I just wanted to advise everybody of some interesting developments in the bibliographic world. As you probably all know, Bruce D'Arcus has been working for quite some time on his Citation Style Language (CSL) which is part of the Zotero Firefox plugin and which will also be part of the OpenDocument Format 1.2.
In his newest blog entry (http://netapps.muohio.edu/blogs/darcusb/ darcusb/archives/2007/11/16/csl-news ) Bruce writes about the current developments around CSL and I advise everybody to read this because interesting things are going on. There will be a public CSL style repository in which Zotero can automatically tap in and there's also work on a graphical CSL editor, on documentation and on a bibliographic ontoligy. I must confess that I don't know whether and how this could or should be integrated into BibDesk and it's still much too early to tell whether CSL will be widely used one day but I think it's definitely worth to check this out, because it seems to me that they get many things right in this project (and with the support of Zotero and OpenOffice there's also hope that this will gain accpetance). simon -- Simon Spiegel Steinhaldenstr. 50 8002 Zürich Telephon: ++41 44 451 5334 Mobophon: ++41 76 459 60 39 http://www.simifilm.ch "It will take time to restore chaos."
