Angelo, While I don't know of anyone working with BibTeX records, we definitely may be interested in anything you come up with.
We've recently had a request from some of our early adopters (who use BibTeX pretty heavily) to provide the capability to just upload a BibTeX file on the Describe/metadata entry screens of the submission process. The idea would be that *instead* of manually keying in all the metadata, we could just attempt to map their BibTeX file (which already has this metadata) to the appropriate DSpace DC fields. Most likely, it would be a long while before we'd have time to implement such a feature, but I can definitely see the potential there (for those researchers who use BibTeX). Those same researchers have also asked us for a way to "export" BibTeX for a given document within DSpace, which could also be a nice feature. So, in general, I can definitely see the potential of allowing upload or export of BibTeX (and similar) formats. Sorry I cannot be of more help. But, I'd definitely encourage you to share whatever tools you find or build (since I imagine others would be interested as well). - Tim -- ======================================== Tim Donohue Research Programmer, Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship (IDEALS) 135 Grainger Engineering Library University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://ideals.uiuc.edu phone: (217) 333-4648 fax: (217) 244-7764 ======================================== Angelo Miranda wrote: > Hi All, > > > > Anyone knows if there is some work done related to bibliographic formats > production and conversion in DSpace? > > We are thinking about implementing some functionality about BibTeX > format and eventually other formats. > > Due to the DSpace internal metadata model, we dont know yet what could > be the best solution.
