bib2ris INPROCEEDINGS

Hi,

there is no such reason except my ignorance. I've been struggling
quite a bit with the bibtex to RIS mapping, and it is very well
possible that I didn't get some things right yet.

bibtex uses both PROCEEDINGS and INPROCEEDINGS. I figured the former
describes a whole tome of papers presented at some meeting, similar to
a book. The latter would then be a chapter (or an article?) that
appeared in such a tome. I'm still not sure what the RIS type CONF is
supposed to cover. If it is meant to describe the "book", then the
current mapping is ok. If CONF is meant to describe a chapter, then
INPROCEEDINGS should rather map to CONF, and PROCEEDINGS maybe to
BOOK.

As I'm not an active bibtex user, I'm open to suggestions how to
improve the default mapping. In any case, if you don't like the
default mapping, you can customize it in
/usr/local/etc/refdb/bib2risrc.

regards
Markus
