About BibDB

BibDB is a collection of tools to create a cross-referenced bibliographic database out of BibTeX files. It consists of a MySQL database holding all information, a web-based front end written in PHP to search and filter this information and some tools to preprocess the given data and fill the database.

It was created as part of the INNODES project and as such the Open Source Bibliographic Database acts as an example.

Although it is actively used for the OSS bibliography this release aims primarily at developers as the integration part is not trivial yet.
