Hello everybody,
I am getting closer to a first public beta release of the web app
"Bibliograph", which uses CSL for the display of formatted citations.
Bibliograph is a tool for the collaborative management of bibliographic
data, mainly for use in universities. You can enter, edit, import and export
bibliographic references, view them in different formats, and manage them by
sorting them in thematic folders, etc. What sets it apart from desktop
programs of the same sort is the collaborative, multi-user approach, and
from other web-based applications, its truly “ajaxy” feel. Here’s a demo
installation:
http://quit.rewi.hu-berlin.de/bibliograph-dev/build/
To see the formatted citations, select a folder and then one or more
reference, and then “Formatted View” on the bottom. Currently, I am using
citeproc-php, but will additionally integrate citeproc-hs as soon as a new
easy-to-install version will be published. Internally, the app uses a
glorified BibTeX data schema, which is translated into the schema that can
be used for the citeproc engine - I still hope we’ll manage to find a truly
interoperable validation schema for that.
I have found only four 1.0 styles that work with the citeproc-php engine,
but I’ll be happy to hear about more styles that have been upgraded to 1.0,
and I do have to sit down and learn CSL to write some “German” style
anyways.
The application is still in pre-Beta since it has not been prepared for use
outside the current environment. If anyone is interested in the pioneering
effort downloading and installing it, I’d be happy to help out. But be
warned: it probably won’t be an easy ride and lots of changes are
forthcoming.
Best,
Christian–

Hi,
I loaded it with Firefox 3.6 on Windows 7.
All three boxes stay empty. If I press the toothwheel lower left,
“reload” can’t be pressed. It does not react. The “reload” in the upper
right box can be clicked, but nothing gets loaded.
Regards,
mogliii
Thank you for your feedback. That is strange. I have not windows machine here
to test it (Just Mac, but it works with Safari, FF, Opera, Chrome). Will try
it on a Windows machine at work. Thanks again, C.–

When Selecting multiple references, the tabular view shows only the
first one. Formatted view shows all refs.
The problem I mentioned before might be due to my Firefox. It populates
the folders with Internet Explorer (8) on the same machine.
I disabled noscript and adblock, but still not showing up. Don’t know
what the problem could be…
For the moment, you can convert the CSL 0.8 styles in the Zotero repository to CSL 1.0 by applying the update.xsl XSLT at http://bitbucket.org/bdarcus/csl-utils/src, although there may be minor differences between the styles as interpreted by the old Zotero 0.8.1 parser and newer CSL 1.0 parsers. When Zotero 2.1 is released, we’ll be moving all styles in the repository over to 1.0.
This looks really nice. While it’s not my department, I hope that, once we release our API, it will be possible to interface Bibliograph with shared Zotero collections and groups.

That is great to hear and will make my life a lot easier. I’ll need to addat least one German legal style later, but it would be good to have a couple of them to impress my users. Simon Kornblith wrote:

Thanks. That would be fantastic. I was already thinking about writing a
Zotero import plugin and found a PHP class which claimed to be able to do
that, but I’d rather develop against an official web service API. I have
already looked for info but found none - so I’m looking forward to that. But
we’re disgressing from CSL isssues
