BibTeX format. Or not? #3

Open mlep opened 9 years ago

About "We believe that BibTeX is still the bibliography format to use, although BibLaTeX, BibTeXML, and CrossTex are good alternatives." (see wiki): Does it mean internal storage will use BibTeX? I thought that the storage internal to CloudRef could be independent of BibTeX, and that the user could choose to visualize/export the references in BibTeX, BibLaTeX, BibTeXML or CrossTex. That will widen the community of users, and encourage to move to more recent formats.

I think, we will use the fields of biblatex as internal storage format and then use a biblatex to bibtex conversion to output bibtex.

BibJSON is another option.
