--- Comment #21 from BruceR <turtle.e...@gmail.com> ---
I have created a tool that solves the problems pointed out here.
The tool can be found here: https://github.com/TurtleEngr/libre-bib

I've used it with odt files from LibreOffice versions 7.x and 24.x. My "master"
bibliography has over 3,000 entries, and a book I'm writing uses over 200 of
them.

Currently it only runs on Linux distros, but it could be ported to MacOS (with
brew packages), and Windows (with CygWin).

- You start with a simple "tagged" text file.
- Run the tool to import the file to a MySQL DB.
- Hook up the DB to LibreOffice so that the DB field names can be bound to the
ones LibreOffice uses (most are close).
- Tag your citations with the "short-name" id in the document.
- Run the tool to generate the biblio fields from the DB for each citation
found in the doc.
- Run the tool again if you update the DB or you added more citations.
