XML-based database

This is a very simple project idea, with many similar sytems already [login to view URL] is a popular format for storing references to research( books, articles, journals etc. Please see LaTex Users Manual for other set types of research)along with a say a URL to where the paper may be found. BibTeX, a flat file format stores these references. Using this as a guide, generate an XML DTD( Document Type Definition) for the types of research. Secondly, the BiBTeX file storing references must also be stored in an XML format. This must be done by converting the references stored in BibTeX(flat file format)to references stored in XML by making a small JAVA program (or other, please specify, e.g Pearl) to convert between the two [login to view URL] should be achieved WITHOUT the use of ANY tools such as XML Convert or [login to view URL] be able to convert from XML to BibTeX and vice versa. Once a number of publication references have been entered into the database, the software must use XSLT to allow the database to be searchable/browsable by various fields such as DATE, AUTHOR,KEYWORD [login to view URL] most cases the paper themselves are in electronic (PDF,Postscript,HTML,Word) format. The papers may either be stored locally or [login to view URL] searching/browsing the collection should result in a URL pointing to the appropriate papers. The output must be in HTML format(using XSL stylesheets to transform from XML to HTML) for publishing on the web, with all font conventions taken care of, or navigating using a browser, or in BiBTeX( so that you can include it in a tex file). Next, it must be made possible for the user to create and manipulate "folders" of papers that are related to their current research. Also, make it easy for user to add or remove items from the collection, such as add references in XML or BibTex format. Finally to see a very similar system online visit, [login to view URL] ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased. 4) All documentation explaining the code produced including the BibTeX conversion program. 5)Testing methods required to test the functionality of the system. 6) Use of newest versions of XML and XSL and other programming languages required. 7) Software produced on a CD format in a ready to run condition. 8) MOST IMPORTANT, THE QUICKER THIS SYSTEM CAN BE PRODUCED THE GREATER LIKELYHOOD OF THE BID BEING ACCEPTED!As time restrictions apply. ## Platform Needs to work on Windows 95 onwards. Any use of Java (JDK 1.2 or above) whould be no problem as that is platform-independent. Browser using IE4 and above.
