Preferred BibTeX citation for QIR specification? #8

Closed cgranade closed 2 years ago

Is there a preferred BibTeX reference entry for citing the QIR specification? Thank you!

In our recent paper, we cite it as follows:

@webpage{QIRAlliance2021,
  title         = {{QIR Specification}},
  author        = {{QIR Alliance}},
  year          = {2021},
  url           = {https://github.com/qir-alliance/qir-spec},
  note          = {Also see \url{https://qir-alliance.org}},
  lastchecked   = {2022-01-28}
}

while also mentioning the initial announcement:

@webpage{Geller2020a,
  title         = {{Introducing Quantum Intermediate Representation (QIR)}},
  author        = {Alan Geller},
  year          = {2020},
  month         = sep,
  note          = {Q\# Blog},
  url           = {https://devblogs.microsoft.com/qsharp/introducing-quantum-intermediate-representation-qir/},
  lastchecked   = {2022-01-26}
}

An officially documented way to cite will certainly be ideal.

Here's a BibLaTeX version that I am using:

@manual{QIRSpec2021,
  title        = {{QIR Specification}},
  organization = {QIR Alliance: \url{https://qir-alliance.org}},
  version      = {0.1},
  url          = {https://github.com/qir-alliance/qir-spec},
  date         = {2021-11}
}
@online{Geller2020a,
  title        = {Introducing Quantum Intermediate Representation (QIR)},
  author       = {Alan Geller},
  date         = {2020-09},
  organization = {Q\# Blog},
  url          = {https://devblogs.microsoft.com/qsharp/introducing-quantum-intermediate-representation-qir/},
  urldate      = {2022-05-01}
}
