About the project

This project has just started. It's goal is to develop an usefull reference managemer for the XML DocBook environment in Java. Aspects we like to cover is:

• Storage in a MySQL database (done)
• Writing an extensive list of import and export filters
• Autonumbering of references in DocBook documents (done)

This last part is an interesting one. We want document authors to be able to give there references in the article by code. For example:

  <chapter><title>Some DocBook Chapter</title>
    <para>
      ... here is some text with a reference [ART_CODE].
      And more text follows ...
    </para>  
  </chapter>

JReference software will be able to look these references up and adapt the DocBook source document to autonumber the references and make a reference list at the end of the article. The result will look something like:

  <chapter><title>Some DocBook Chapter</title>
    <para>
      ... here is some text with a reference 5.
      And more text follows ...
    </para>  
  </chapter>

  ... 

  <chapter><title>References</title>  
    ... here the complete list of bibliographic 
        references will be autogenerated.
  </chapter>

TODO list

Since this project is very new, there isn't much done yet. But here is a list of things we like to accomplish very soon:

• Import/Export filters for other formats: BibTex, Refer
  Source code is already available, but needs to be inserted in the distro.
• SQL client for JReference: Java, KDE, GNOME
  Use KMySQL, or any other general mySQL client, for now.
• Software for autonumbering/reference insertion
  Done as of version 0.1.
• Tool to generate the necessary databases.
  Done as of version 0.1.
