Bibliophile project is a collection of libraries for Web-based literature database development that were created to align the development of bibliographic databases for the Web.

Bibliophile was founded by Mark Grimshaw (Wikindx), Matthias Steffens (RefBase) and Daniel Pozzi (PHPBibMan) in 2004. Our goal is to promote collaboration between developers and end-users of bibliographic databases.

We provide GPL PHP libraries to be used in any project for conversion, import and export of bibliographic exchange formats (EndNote, BibTeX etc.), formatting of raw bibliographic data and citations (APA, Chicago, IEEE etc.) and a range of other utilities.

One future target is to establish a technology to provide cross-site searches for references. BPCentral, the central server will hold a catalogue of installations and the kind of search interface they provide and some more information. A first preliminary version is already up and running.

We provide GPL PHP libraries to be used in any project for conversion, import and export of bibliographic exchange formats (EndNote, BibTeX etc.), formatting of raw bibliographic data and citations (APA, Chicago, IEEE etc.) and a range of other utilities. Packages include:

OSBiB ~ bibliography/citation formatter comprising tools to format bibliographies and citations within a block of text and to create and edit styles. Styles bundled with the download include APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, Harvard, British Medical Journal and IEEE. The bibliography and citation formatting can be tested here.
bibtexParse ~ parse a BibTeX .bib file into PHP arrays.
charmyKnife ~ the Swiss Army Knife of character conversion.
minimalRtf ~ provides minimal Rich Text Formatting for marking-up text.
modsParse ~ parse a MODS file in PHP arrays.
