Hi Justus & Bruce,

> I’m looking for a unified framework for Web-based publication lists  
> (personal, research group, department-wide)

refbase supports automatic generation of citation lists. Some  
examples:

Show all publications (in cite view sorted by year with 100 entries  
per page) by the Institute for Polar Ecology (“IPÖ”) but exclude any  
theses and/or duplicate entries:

[http://polaris.ipoe.uni-kiel.de/refs/show.php?contribution\_id=IP�&thesis=no&without=dups&submit=Cite&showRows=100&citeOrder=year&headerMsg=Publications%20of%20the%20\<b\>Institute%20for%20Polar%20Ecology\</b\>:](http://polaris.ipoe.uni-kiel.de/refs/show.php?contribution_id=IP%D6&thesis=no&without=dups&submit=Cite&showRows=100&citeOrder=year&headerMsg=Publications%20of%20the%20%3Cb%3EInstitute%20for%20Polar%20Ecology%3C/b%3E:)

and only PhD theses from IPÖ (in classical author-year ordering,  
15 entries per page, without links and in print view):

[http://polaris.ipoe.uni-kiel.de/refs/show.php?contribution\_id=IP�&thesis=doctor&without=dups&submit=Cite&showRows=15&citeOrder=author&showLinks=0&viewType=Print](http://polaris.ipoe.uni-kiel.de/refs/show.php?contribution_id=IP%D6&thesis=doctor&without=dups&submit=Cite&showRows=15&citeOrder=author&showLinks=0&viewType=Print)

Display all those publications by author “Piepenburg” that this  
author has selected to be included within his list of selected  
publications:

[http://polaris.ipoe.uni-kiel.de/refs/show.php?author=piepenburg&userID=4&selected=yes&submit=Cite&showRows=100&citeOrder=year&headerMsg=Publications%20of%20\<b\>Dieter%20Piepenburg\</b\>:](http://polaris.ipoe.uni-kiel.de/refs/show.php?author=piepenburg&userID=4&selected=yes&submit=Cite&showRows=100&citeOrder=year&headerMsg=Publications%20of%20%3Cb%3EDieter%20Piepenburg%3C/b%3E:)

The script supports many more fields for query and different output  
modes.

> and XBiblio-like document processing

The next version of refbase will support citation output via xbiblio.  
Processing of full XML documents won’t be initially supported, though.

You may want to checkout refbase using our demo database:

[http://demo.refbase.net/](http://demo.refbase.net/)

Currently, import is only provided for Endnote users via a command  
line conversion utility. Implementation of full import capabilities  
for common bibliographic formats (via bibutils and the web GUI) is of  
high priority, though.

That’s a tricky question! 😉 I’m in the final stage of my PhD which  
always causes delays regarding refbase development efforts :-/. So I  
fear I can’t tell when we’ll have a release ready for download.  
Anyhow, I hope to complete the xbiblio support during the next weeks  
and the scripts will be available via the SourceForge CVS.

[Btw, I’ll haven’t found time to try out your suggestions which you  
mailed yesterday but I’ll do so next week]

Don’t worry; it won’t work anyway 😉

I had to one or two other changes.
