Dear all,
I'm posting Matt Jones' reply to Robert Huber's survey because we are having problems with Matt's GUID list subscription.
------------------- Here I've provided responses for EML. Its not a database per se, but it is an exchange format that is in common use among ecological field sites in the US. The format basically follows End Note which is a commonly used bibliography manager at field stations.
The bibliographic section of EML is described here: http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/eml/eml-2.0.1/eml-literature.html and here is an image of the schema which is easier to interpret: http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/eml/eml-2.0.1/eml-literature.png

Dear all,
Below is a short 'survey' which hopefully can help to get an overview on how bibliographic information currently is stored in your databases. If you don't like to fill such forms, any other info on your current literature db is also welcome, just send it to me by email!
The list maybe incomplete, if you think important questions are missing there just let me and the others know.
I will try to sumarize the results on the wiki later.
best regards, Robert
