BibBase

This software project has been abandoned in favor of a new web service based solution, which has several advantages. Please visit BibBase.org to find out more and start using it.

If you have used (the cgi-based) bibbase previously, you can easily convert your existing set of bib-files into the appropriate format for the new web service using these two scripts: addURL.sh, bibbase_convert.sh. Directions:

Download the two script and place them in your existing bibtex folder.
Execute bibbase_convert.sh. The script produces a file called all.
Use that file with the new service. So for instance, assuming the file can be reached at www.example.com/all, then www.bibbase.org/show?bib=www.example.com/all should work.

If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for using bibbase :-)

This is the project page of the BibBase Sourceforge project. BibBase is a tool to automatically generate HTML pages from bibtex files and additional files containing freeform notes (like abstracts, links, pointers to implementations, project names or descriptions). Unlike bibtex2html, this generation is done on-the-fly through CGI scripts but using a cache to not regenerate previously generated pages. This way it is always up-to-date but no less efficient than bibtex2html. Its main purpose is to serve for publications pages on academic web pages. The on-the-fly approach makes it extremely easy to keep your publications page up-to-date: simply copy new bibtex/paper files into the appropriate directories. Next time you open your publications page, the newly added items will show. Also, visitors to your publications page can rearrange (group), sort, or filter your publications the way they want, e.g. listing publications grouped by year, author, or bibentry-type (e.g. Article, InProceedings, Book).

BibBase is free software. It is published under the GNU Public Licence.
