[Bibdesk-users] SciFinder Import
Hello everybody, after a number of people here on this list helped me to get started with BibDesk a couple of months ago, I have been using it ever since, and I am more than happy with it. As I think it is possible that software developers more often hear complaints from users about the things that don't work, let me take the occasion again to say thank you. The way Bibdesk works and feels like is really how bibliography management should be! There is one thing that would make my life much easier though, and this is import of SciFinder searches. I have asked for this on this list before but I had not had the time myself to follow up on it. I would, once again, like to bring it to your attention because SciFinder (searching the Chemical Abstracts Database) is one of the most important search tools in Chemistry. I currently use Endnote to import SciFinder searches and export BibTeX for use in Bibdesk, so a direct import to Bibdesk would really be helpful. I have attached a typical SciFinder result for a journal article at the end of this email. Every result starts with START_RECORD and end with END_RECORD. As far as I can see, the FIELD keys are always the same, in the same order, separated with returns. I don't really know (yet) what results of other types of publications (e.g., book chapters or patents) look like. I can have a look at it if desired but, as a start, I would be very happy with a rudimentary import of the relevant fields of only journal articles (which account for 99% of the chemical literature anyways). I can provide you with more information as needed. If there is nothing that you can (or want to) do about it, that is also fine. Otherwise, thank you very much for your efforts.

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to import information from DDB (German Bibliography) by BibDesk's Search. For this I use the access described on http://www.d-nb.de/service/zd/ z39_50.htm. Target profile is provided on http://www.d-nb.de/eng/ service/pdf/ddb-prf2002.pdf. I filled in this information as follows: Searches - New Search Group - Type Z39.50 / Server: Other - Name: DDB / Database: iltis / Address: z3950.dbf.ddb.de / Port: 210 / USername: gast / Password: gast) I did not manage to get bibliographical information from this source, probably because the Encoding (ISO646 or 5426) and Syntax (SUTRS) are different from those provided in BibDesk's pop-up-menu. Is there a way to change this in coming versions? Other sources do work properly, for example University of Zuerich. Any help?

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Z39.50 at DDB/DNB (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek)
AFAICS, the encoding is no problem. We just don't get any record, and we don't use the encoding to download records, only to interpret them. Also the syntax should not be a problem, as it should be able to return USMARC according to the PDF you link to. So I don't know what goes wrong.

It seems indeed that DDB only returns SUTRS. And as in Simon's quotes from me, that unfortunately ends it.

Also, are there any fields that can generally be ignored? In fact, adding to this file https://bibdesk.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bibdesk/trunk/bibdesk/TypeInfo.plist would be most helpful, following the general pattern for BibTeXFieldNamesForWebOfScienceTags and BibTeXTypesForWebOfScienceTypes (for example). Post back if you have questions about the format (it's UTF-8 text). -- Adam - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] SciFinder Import
Hi Adam,
Thanks, that's nice to hear! It's also a good way to preface a
feature request :).
Shit! How did you notice? ;-)
This looks like it would be really easy to parse. Christiaan, post if
you start working on it; otherwise I'll take a look at it later
today. No point in duplicating effort.
I will probably only be able to take a look at it tomorrow, so maybe
you want to wait until then.
Holger, if you can find a specification of types and field
descriptions (e.g. does Accession Number map to anything in BibTeX?),
that would be helpful. Also, are there any fields that can generally
be ignored?
Well, I would assign the keys that seem useful to BibTeX fields
according to my personal choice, if that is okay for now.
In fact, adding to this file
https://bibdesk.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bibdesk/trunk/bibdesk/
TypeInfo.plist
So, if I understand this correctly: the entries would have to be of
the form
BibTeXFieldNamesForSciFinderTags = {
FIELD Abstract: = Abstract;
...
};
or would one leave away FIELD or : or both?
I can do the other assignments tomorrow morning.
Holger

Re: [Bibdesk-users] SciFinder Import
Minimal SciFinder support will be in the next nightly build. We'll need tag and type mappings as discussed previously to make it more full-featured, but it should be a good start. -- Adam - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
