Citation Metadata
Bruce D'Arcus has begun work on a Citation Oriented Bibliographic Vocabulary.
A vocabulary to describe a general data model for scholarly citations. It covers three primary classes: events, agents, and bibliographic reference types. It is designed to offer a solid general relational model for citation metadata, and also to provide a specific superset of reference types in standard formats like BibTeX, RIS, and Refer/Endnote.
