The bibliography style is not available, but you can always use the SGML style
to write the bibliography. Here is an example:
<bibliography><title>Documentation</title>
<biblioentry>
<abbrev>TDG</abbrev>
<title>DocBook: The Definitive Guide</title>
<authorgroup>
<author><firstname>Norman</firstname><surname>Walsh</surname></author>
<author><firstname>Leonard</firstname><surname>Muellner</surname></author>
</authorgroup>
<copyright><year>1999, 2000, 2001</year> <holder>O'Reilly & Associates,
Inc.</holder></copyright>
<isbn>156592-580-7</isbn>
<publisher><publishername>O'Reilly</publishername> </publisher>
</biblioentry>
</bibliography>
To refer to this you can use ERT and write <citation>TDG</citation> anywhere
in the doc.

Well, what I remember is that it is not so easy to support this since lyx
cannot define styles for the elements under the biblioentry tags. Now I only
suggest to support <bibliography> and <biblioentry> and let the user using ERT
to define the <abbrev>, etc. tags.
To support this basic bibliography style, I think it is needed at least to
have:
1. The style definition, like this:
# Bibliography style definition
Style Bibliography
Margin First_Dynamic
LatexType Item_Environment
LatexName bibliography
NextNoIndent 1
LeftMargin MM
ParSkip 0.4
ItemSep 0
TopSep 0.7
BottomSep 0.7
ParSep 0.5
Align Block
AlignPossible Block, Left
LabelType Bibliography
LabelString References
LabelBottomSep 0.7
# label font definition
LabelFont
Series Bold
Size Larger
EndFont
End
2. Define a docbook method for the InsetBibKey class to write the
<biblioentry> tag.
3. Change the makeDocBookFile method so that it is checked if it is a bibkey
in the LATEX_ITEM_ENVIRONMENT style (and if so calling bibkey->docbook()).
Now, with a bibliography style the biblioentries are translated as <listitem>.
4. Define a docbook method for the InsetCitation class to write the <citation>
tag (but I don't know where it should be called).
Well, I haven't checked if it's enough or if it's the good solution. Jose what
do you think about this?
