Refbase is a web-based bibliographic manager for scientific literature, references and citations. A new release of the refbase package is available at:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/refbase/refbase-0.9.0.tar.gz?download

This release offers major function enhancements and bugfixes. Batch import from various bibliographic formats (including BibTeX, Endnote, RIS, ISI and MODS XML) is now supported, as is import from a PubMed ID. An OpenDocument Spreadsheet for use with OpenOffice.org can be exported and formatted citation lists can be generated as HTML, RTF, PDF, or LaTeX. A SRU/W service as well as support for unAPI, OpenURL and COinS metadata have been added. These allow the data to be used by the next generation of bibliographic clients. A new command line client is also included.

An overview of the main features of this package can be found at:
