Update, Aug 20, 2010:

    Beginning to converge on an integration plan for working with reference formats, and building in to our tool sufficient compatibility with other systems. It seems like if we support the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIS_(file_format) RIS] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX BibTeX] formats, we will have covered export to, and import from, all the major reference software tools already out there. Perhaps we can start with just one (RIS seems easier) and then make the other a later goal. (There are existent tools to convert from one format to the other anyway, so users could always do this extra step on their own.) 

    Also, I am beginning to think we'll need to support something like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenURL OpenURL] and [http://ocoins.info/ COinS] as the best way to provide users with external links about a given resource (ie, as opposed to providing links to say, Wikipedia, Google Books, or Amazon). More on [http://www.exlibrisgroup.com/category/sfxopenurl OpenURL is here].
