Hi. I'm pleased to announce the release of version 2.0 of ldap2bibtex, a tool for the generation of BibTeX database files from LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) repository. You can freely download it from http://mbdyn.aero.polimi.it/~masarati/Download/ldap2bibtex-2.0.tar.gz The BibTeX entries are stored in a Directory Server following the enclosed schema (for OpenLDAP 1.0's slapd: etc/ldap2bibtex.v2.schema, for OpenLDAP 2.0's slapd: etc/ldap2bibtex.v3.schema). As a result, entries can be easily shared among people, a unique (scalable, replicable, ...) repository is maintained, entries can be easily browsed by a number of readily available LDAP clients (e.g. Netscape, many php tools, web2ldap interfaces, ...). A migartion tool, bibtex2ldif, is provided as an easy means to move your traditional BibTeX databases to the directory server. It generates a LDIF (LDAP Directory Interchange Format), which can be subsequently stored into the Directory Server by using the ldapadd(1) client that comes with OpenLDAP (see http://www.openldap.org). Please, feel free to send me any comment/bug report/suggestion for improvements. I hope this will be useful to many LaTeX users.
