I heard an article on the radio the other day (BBC) about some researcher developing meta data standards to embed bibliography data into PDFs. Basically stash the relevant refs from your bibtex (or other) database into the PDF in a machine readable way and develop open source tools to parse that and allow navigation to online or local sources. Seems like a pretty good idea. But I can't remember who it was / what it's called. Anyone?
Hi, that was Vint Cerf and me, Frode Hegland. The project we talked about is called Visual-Meta. You can read about it here: https://visual-meta.info or contact me with any questions: frode@hegland.com
Thanks for listening! :-)
Sounds great! Curious to hear why you're basing the standard on BibTeX rather than BibLaTeX? Seems like a step backwards given how many more types the newer standard supports
