Hans Hagen schrieb: > - support for http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/ as basic bibl format > - provide converters from marcs and bibtex to mods > - layer the bib module on top of that There was a (short) discussion on about this under the thread "croffref in bibtex" 2006-03-23 seq, see esp. Bruce d'Arcus' contribution http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2006/017019.html Pro + having a standard bib format for ConTeXt + MODS is a standard format for bibliographers + it is XML-based + BibTeX conversion already exists (at least on Unix) via bibutils: http://www.scripps.edu/~cdputnam/software/bibutils/bibutils2.html Con - it seems the MODS is quite complex (= a lot of work) See also Bruce's comment. IMHO Bruce's own RDF-based approach looks rather promising, too, see http://xbiblio.sourceforge.net/csl/ Perhaps one should contact him to check the projects progess My thoughts. Cheers Ulf
