Sorry, this is slightly off topic, but if sombody is using jabref as a data

could he/she tell me how to avoid the export of abstract, school,

bibtex/biblatex/biber doesn't like.
I tired finding out from the handbook, but must have overlooked the part
describing it.
I don't use custom filters myself, but JabRef allows you to define a
custom export filter (Help > Custom Export Filters). They're usually
intended for a format change (output to RTF, HTML etc.), but there is
nothing stopping you from writing a filter that outputs a .bib file with
some fields stripped out.
If you'd rather not write your own filter, you might look on the project
resources page (http://jabref.sourceforge.net/resources.php) and
particularly at the Chicago style export filters
(http://jabref.sourceforge.net/plugins/Chicago_export_filters.pdf).
Again, I've never used them, but one of them might accomplish what you
want. I think they export to RTF, but you could easily import that into
a new JabRef file.
