What additional fields do you precisely need? Right now I'm not  
exactly sure whether RefDB does not *store* these values at all, or  
whether it does not *export* them properly to bibtex.

I believe the problem is quite different now from what it was back  
then. If you cut out DocBook from your workflow, all that remains for  
RefDB to do is to export the available data properly as bibtex. There  
is essentially no formatting involved, except maybe providing the full  
or abbreviated names of journals. I'll be happy to extend RefDB's  
capabilities if you can list exactly how the bibtex output needs to  
change. I'd greatly appreciate if you could send some example data how  
that output ought to look like.

regards,
Markus
