mandatory field. It identifies the version of the format
used to create this bibliographic record. This RFC defines
BIB-Version TR-v2.1
BIB-VERSIONs that start with the letter X (case
independent) are considered experimental. Bib-records
sent with such a BIB-VERSION should NOT be incorporated
in the permanent database of the recipient.
Using this version of this format, this field is always:
Format: BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.1
ID (M) -- This is the second field of any record. It is also a
mandatory field. The ID field identifies the bibliographic
record and is used in management of these records.
Its format is "ID:: XXX//YYY", where XXX is the
publisher-ID (the controlled symbol of the publisher)
and YYY is the ID (e.g., report number) of the
publication as assigned by the publisher. This ID is
typically printed on the cover, and may contain slashes.
The organization symbols "DUMMY" and "TEST" (case
independent) are reserved for test records that should NOT
be incorporated in the permanent database of the
recipients.
Format: ID:: <publisher-ID>//
Example: ID:: OUKS//CS-TR-91-123
**** See the note at the end regarding the ****
**** controlled symbols of the publishers *****
RFC 1807 A Format for Bibliographic Records June 1995
ENTRY (M) -- This is a mandatory field. It is the date of
creating this bibliographic record.
The format for ENTRY date is "Month Day, Year". The
month must be alphabetic (spelled out). The "Day" is a
1- or 2-digit number. The "Year" is a 4-digit number.
Format: ENTRY::
Example: ENTRY:: January 15, 1992
ORGANIZATION (O) -- It is the full name spelled out (no acronyms,
please) of the publishing organization. The use of this
name is controlled together with the controlled symbol of
the publisher (as discussed above for the ID field).
Avoid acronyms because there are many common acronyms,
such as ISI and USC. Please provide it in ascending
order, such as "X University, Y Department" (not "Y
Department, X University").
Format: ORGANIZATION::
Example: ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Department of
Computer Science
TITLE (O) -- This is the title of the work as assigned by the
author. This field should include the complete title with
all the subtitles, if any.
Format: TITLE::
Example: TITLE:: The Computerization of Oceanview with
High Speed Fiber Optics Communication
TYPE (O) -- Indicates the type of publication (summary, final
project report, etc.) as assigned by the issuing
organization.
Format: TYPE::
Example: TYPE:: Technical Report
REVISION (O) -- Indicates that the current bibliographic record is
a revision of a previously issued record and is intended
