Yes, or in notebooks or on printouts of PDF files. I think the issue  
is less of specific technology (relational, XML native, some type of  
object store) than getting the data model and data sharing right so  
that you have a tool chain that fully supports the "concept  
bibliography >> original content >> supporting bibliography" workflow  
with minimal friction.
