An Index file in ``bib'' format
The bib format
(sometimes called the refer format) is a somewhat old but
still useful method for specifying bibliographic references. I have
chosen to support it not because it is somehow naturally superior but
because it is already used by some large sites and, unlike BibTeX,
it's easy to parse.
A bib index file consists of a bunch of records separated by blank
spaces. A typical record from the U-Rochester
systems index file looks like:

The distinguishing characteristic of our
approach to real-time systems is an emphasis on system \fIadaptability\fP
in a dynamic real-world environment.
We achieve adaptability by allowing multiple real-time process models,
with different known properties and timing constraints,
to coexist within a single system and application.
Using a hardware architecture in which a large-scale multiprocessor
controls a behavioral system with vision and manipulation capabilities,
we are constructing a prototype software environment that provides a
predictable schedule for \fIreflexive\fP robot tasks and
a flexible environment for implementing adaptive
\fIcognitive\fP robot tasks.
We will exploit multiple processors,
user-level scheduling, and user-defined process and communication models
in the construction of real-time robotics applications.

As you can see, this format currently allows for some tangible
benefits, such as the possibility of appropriate markup so the
reference can be formatted more nicely. It also will, in the future,
allow for more specific queries.
Another format is specified by RFC
1357 and employed by the National CS TR
Library; UCSTRI attempts to format it somewhat nicely.
Now, on to requests for TR
archivers...
