Re: new bibliographic data schema proposal

I agree with Bruce. If it is about improving more or less the "internal" 
data structure, the most important issue (at least in my eyes) is the 
integration of legacy formats. Since these formats are the ones the 
users work with (for docbook, bibtex, endnote and so on).

We should be thinking one step ahead and take into account the upcoming 
technologies and define some kind of "standard compliant exchange 
format". This is just a buzz word, but integrating the reference data in 
a rss format sounds great for me, since this can help to interconnect 
different reference databases more easily. If we think about the web as 
a possible interface it a great idea to be able to fetch entries from 
different sites and integrate them in your publications.

That's just my opinion,

Sebastian
