There's this: https://bitbucket.org/fbennett/csl-lib/overview I haven't touched it in the past year, but the scripts should still work. The data dumps are idiosyncratic, but if someone wanted to clean it up, the logic is there. > > I just had in my mind's eye a UI that is a formatted bib, but where one > could interact with the variable tokens.

It's a very tough problem due to the complexity of inheritance and cross-node interaction in much of the formatting logic. It's a tempting concept, but there would be a risk of finding in the end that it wouldn't work well enough to be useful. I don't expect to do anything on it in the foreseeable future myself. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Storage Efficiency Calculator > This modeling tool is based on patent-pending intellectual property that > has been used successfully in hundreds of IBM storage optimization engage- > ments, worldwide.
