First, I have switched to using a particular RDF/XML as the internal representation, and also therefore the primary input format. I will likely be adding back a MODS input driver when I get a chance, but it's no longer the focus. I will also be releasing a schema for this RDF representation for people that need it. The primary reason for this change is that in comparison to MODS, RDF has a consistent model that makes it easier to model reference metadata. It's also fundamentally a relational model, and so easier to integrate with relational databases where needed. Also, I am working with the OpenDocument Technical Committee on a plan to add extensible metadata support using this RDF-based approach, so we hope to adopt this in OpenOffice as well (I am co-project lead for the OOo bib project). Second, I have started porting CiteProc to Ruby (and put a citeproc-py directory in the repo for those python coders that might want to contribute), which might integrate better with ConTeXt. (I suppose Lua might also be an option given the integration with pdftex?) In any case, this will take me a bit of time as a) I don't have much of it, and b) my coding skills aren't that great. But the actual formatting code (Ruby, XSLT, etc.) is to my mind less important than the logic as embedded in the XML citation style language I wrote to configure the formatting. Bruce *
