Hi.
I'm seeking advice on how to proceed to develop a proper bibtex
citation for geo- and temporally-referenced research data. After
looking around for prior work on this I don't find anything
particularly relevant but may have missed something. Here's what
we want to be able to do and it seems that we may need a new
document style.
1. Take a generic citation (e.g., misc) and add the following kinds
of fields:
1.1 West
1.2 East
1.3 South
1.4 North
1.5 DatetimeBegin
1.6 DatetimeEnd
1.7 ProvenanceParents
1.8 ProvenanceSibllings
I understand that I could add them using the defaults fields
capability in BibDesk but this seems like a kluge and not the
correct long-term best solution.
I'm just coming back to bibtex after many years and used to
understand how to create document styles but I'm uncertain just yet
about the best way to proceed. For example, if I created a
ResearchData style, how would I get it into BibDesk so I could use it?
Thanks and sorry if I've missed prior discussion of this type of
topic.
Cheers.

First of all, you should realize that BibDesk is not bibtex. BibDesk
is involved in saving the data, not processing through bibtex.
Therefore, anything about a bibliography style is not really in the
context of BibDesk. So my question to you is: are you asking about
bibtex citation styles? In that case it's better asked on a (bib)tex
list, though perhaps users here can help you out. Or are you asking
about some custom types to save in BibDesk? In that case you should
look at the Custom Types and Fields button in the Default Fields
preferences.
