Hallo!

Your answer helped me a lot.  The two blog entries you have referred to and the link to the "Rbib"-paper have been very helpful.  Not only have I learned about your motivation behind the data model and handling of RIS data.  They have also been informative in a broader sense too, namely in their good exposition of the standard taxonomy applied by library science.

If I am correctly interpreting you email you seem to be somewhat dissatisfied with RIS as the foundation/starting point of the data model of refDB.  Are you planning to change the data model on which refDB is based in the future?

Besides that, your blog-entries and my test driving of refDB have stirred a lot of questions, remarks, objections, feature requests etc..  But before I can discuss these topics in a productive way I have to base my arguments on more research into refDB and its documentation.  So I would like to postpone the discussion until soon.  Is this kind of discussion better shifted to the devel list?

For the time being I think I know enough to (ab)use refDB to meet my requirements (although, further questions not ruled out :)

Kind regards

Stefan
