Rendering Bibliographic Information in a Browser
Rendering bibliographic information in a browser is a rather tricky problem. Ideally, you want a visually simple overview of a large number of records, and the ability to easily find the ones you want. At the same time you want quick access to extended information like annotations and abstracts. I had always thought it necessary to see these as two different interfaces for the most part.
Well, a BibDesk user has come up with a clever way to handle both needs in the same interface; it’s even standards compliant xhtml and css!
It seems there’s a lot of energy over at the BibDesk project these days. If only they would bite the bullet and ditch bibtex for basic record storage.
