Bib system based on org-mode

Bib system based on org-mode

[Qiang Guo]

Hi, Community

org-mode is a great tool to record and recognize
things. Has anybody ever thought of using it as a
bibliographical system as Endnote, and etc ?

Right now, I am trying to organize my reference records in
org-mode. This is handy because org-mode has some nice
features such as :PROPERTY:, tags, ... For example, an entry
could be like this
/--------------------------------------/
* Spectrum Sensing based on ....
  :PROPERTIES:
  :author: XXX and XXX
  :journal: Trans on Wireless Comm
  :month: june
  ...
  :END:
  ** Notes
     Some notes can be put here. 

/--------------------------------------/

Of course, the record can be imported from any structured
bib file such as bibtex files, endnote files by implementing
some lisp code.

Are there some other ways of using org-mode to organize
paper records I don't know about ? Or are there any people
interested in writing a extension or something to org-mode ?
I am a elisp newbie, but I can of course join in such a
project if there are such one.

Cheers~

Qiang

Yes, the format you propose below is used by Fireforg. Have a look at
its documentation at:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-devel.php

It's currently experimental and has some performance problems, but I
plan a stable and improved release after the feature freeze.
