You could remove keywords on import automatically with a script hook, I think (I'm not sure when the import script fires?), or it's easy to do with AppleScript on selected items. My question is how would the controlled vocabulary integrate with BibDesk? Would you just be removing keywords that aren't in the vocabulary, or adding new ones to each item? > The weirdness of what authors use as > keywords is crazy. I agree that it's a problem; I find that grouping by keyword is an information overload because of all the Elsevier RIS imports I've done. Just because you /can/ have a dozen indexing terms doesn't mean you should! > In fact, just the power to strip incoming keywords > would be a help.

It's always great to see user advertisement; we've never put much time into that, unfortunately, and BibDesk often gets pigeonholed as a GUI for BibTeX instead of a research tool. -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
