- Word XML
- - display rich text (i.e., italics, super/sub-script, greek letters)
- - extract citations from a text & build an appropriate reference list
- - track additions via RSS and generate custom RSS feeds from searches
- - web services (SRU & OpenSearch) that allow clients to access a
- refbase database using a standard query syntax and retrieve results
- in structured XML format
- - dissemination of bibliographic data via standard methods (COinS &
- unAPI) allowing clients to automatically discover and extract data
- from refbase
- - search a refbase online database from the command line and retrieve
- results in various export & citation formats
