Rafael Bohrer Ávila <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: OmniBib
System name: omnibib
Type: non-GNU

Description:
  OmniBib is a peer-to-peer framework for sharing bibliographic databases.  The 
idea is that each individual maintains his own database (e.g. a BibTeX file) 
and makes it available to the OmniBib network by means of a dedicated server.  
This server is accessible by OmniBib users, who can search for and fetch the 
references they need.  The server also has the capability of contacting other 
servers if the needed references are not found locally.  Client-side software 
retrieves a number of references from a given server and formats it as needed; 
the typical usage is to fetch bibliographic entries from the OmniBib network 
and hand it to a local BibTeX program, in the form of a .bib file, in order to 
process the citations of a LaTeX document.
  The goal of this project is to provide a working OmniBib environment as 
described above.  We intend to implement the server functionality using Perl 
and at least a basic client program to be used in place of BibTeX.
  I'm re-registering the project as requested in your email from Aug 22. A 
alpha-alpha-alpha, barely-functional version of OmniBib can be downloaded from 
http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/~avila/omnibib-0.0.3.tar.bz2.  Please note that this is 
not supposed to become an official downloading site for OmniBib, it's just a 
temporary place so that you get access to it, nor intend we to ever publically 
release this particular version of the software.
