When you say "xbiblio" what do you mean? CSL? And by "database schema" you mean SQL database? The problem is defining your needs, and how closely you want your data representation to match the CSL model. So, for example, if you want a very close mapping, you could base a schema on the csl input schema, which is defined in JSON. https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/blob/master/csl-data.json If you want something more structured and relational, you could look at something I also had a hand in; an RDF model: http://bibliontology.com/ For something a little more middle ground, awhile back I was playing around with modeling this stuff using some nosql DSLs. https://gist.github.com/842225 Bruce ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
