[open-bibliography] Basic RDF/XML to bibtex/RIS conversion?

Fri Feb 3 12:10:12 UTC 2012

Hi Ross,

I am currently converting the BNB into bibjson and uploading it to a
bibserver. Perhaps this may be of help to you. Also, I could share the
scripts I wrote that parse the BNB files and spit out the bibjson - a
quick conversion of those could enable you to get bibtex or something
else into a file.
