Welcome to the home of the BibWorm project. On these pages you will find information on our unique, integrated set of bibliographical and research management applications. While this site is still under construction, we would be grateful if you could complete our survey as your answers will help us develop the kind of software you need.

The goal of the BibWorm project is the development of a set of applications which

  • provide effective means for managing bibliographical data, including lectures, interviews, audiovisual media, software, etc.
  • increase productivity and improve information flow by
    • automating, or at least facilitating, common tasks wherever possible (e.g. the creation of course reading lists or citations and bibliographies for papers)
    • providing easy and, where possible, automated access to further information stored on users' computers (e.g. notes, paper drafts) or anywhere on the internet or intranets (e.g. information retrieved from online library catalogues, contact details, relevant websites)
  • can be easily customized and expanded according to the needs of a specific environment. For this reason BibWorm applications

Core development in C# progressing
(02/25/2007, 10:09 PM)    It's been a long time without a news update, sincere apologies for that. Development of the BibWorm Core (current focus on the Data Abstraction Layer) is progressing slowly but surely. Tobyhist currently has little time to work on this project and constant reviews and optimizations slow progress down somewhat but most classes have already been implemented. You are very welcome to review the code and offer suggestions via the project forums. A documentation for the core will follow as soon as possible... (0 comments)
Class Reference for BibWorm Core Begun
(09/24/2006, 01:20 PM)    Today, the publication of the class reference for BibWorm's core was begun. You can consult it at http://bibworm.sourceforge.net/development/core_classes.php As this document will serve as the main design guide for BibWorm's API and data abstraction layer, its completion enjoys high priority.

Website and Survey Online!
(09/21/2006, 06:44 PM)    Finally the BibWorm project website is online. It's still under construction, but the development section (http://bibworm.sourceforge.net/development/) already contains a very general outline of the project. The many gaps still there will be updates as soon as possible. In the meantime please do complete our survey at http://bibworm.sourceforge.net/survey/public/survey.php?name=initialsurvey Your information will help us build BibWorm solutions with the features YOU need.

SVN repository re-organized and first Java code up
(08/23/2006, 07:16 PM)    Yesterday, the SVN repository for the BibWorm project was restructured. Old C# code has been moved to the legacy subdirectory of trunk. In addition to this, I uploaded the first few lines of Java code, which form part of BibWorm's core, more precisely the data abstraction layer. Pelase note that this code has not been tested yet due to the many cross-dependencies on other classes yet unwritten. (0 comments)
