Re: [Axiom-developer] Axiom bibliography - questions to consider

[Ralf Hemmecke]

Hello Cliff,

> a)  Do we want to include annotations as part of the bibliography?

I think yes. But as for you, a .bib file for me is a database format.
Turning it into a .bib.pamphlet does not gain much if the text between 
the bibentries could also be written inside an annote filed of the 
bibentry. In a pamphlet file, the latex text between the "code chunks" 
(bib-entries) would even be less accessible to different views.

Assume I want to have a nice document that annotates references related 
to some area that I am interested in. Then I think it is better, one 
starts a program and generates such a document from a database (be it a 
.bib file or something else). I don't think it makes much sense to write 
up a fixed view on the bibliographic data as ONE .bib.pamphlet would be.

I rather think that should be just digitally accessible with links and 
everything. In book form it only has half the value.
