Basilic : an Automated Bibliography Server

Participant : Gilles Debunne [ contact ] .

Basilic is a tool that automates the diffusion of research results on the web. It automatically generates the publication part of a project web site, creating index pages and web pages associated to each publication. These pages provide access to the publication itself, its abstract, associated images and movies, and anything else via web links(See for instance http://artis.imag.fr/Publications ).

All bibtex related information is stored in a database that is queried on the fly to generate the pages. Everyone can very easily and quickly update the site, thus garanteeing an up-to-date web site. BibTeX and XML exports are available, and are for instance used to generate the bibliography of this activity report. Basilic is released under the GPL licence and is freely available for download(http://artis.imag.fr/Software/Basilic )
