These text files can be from various sources: you can enter them manually, you download files from search engines in the web, or you have data exported from a different database application. In almost any case, some kind of filtering has to be applied to those files in order to be valid input for RefDB.</p><p>The input filters currently shipped with RefDB are listed below. Please follow the links to the individual filters for further information.</p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term">

A decent set of filters is supplied by Chris Putnam's <a class="ulink" href="http://www.scripps.edu/~cdputnam/software/bibutils/bibutils.html" target="_top">bibutils</a> package, which interconverts bibtex, COPAC, EndNote (Refer), EndNote (XML), ISI, PubMed, MODS, and RIS data. For example, use the following command to import MODS datasets into RefDB:</p><pre class="screen"><code class="prompt"># </code><strong class="userinput"><code>xml2ris modsdata.xml|refdbc -C addref</code></strong></pre></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch07s02.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="ch07.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ch07s04.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">The Emacs helpers </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Writing risx datasets</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
