Hi Andreas, This is more or less what I meant by “long” format (in the sense of R’s reshape() function). In order to fit this information in a SQL table, I was more thinking about: package title text package authors text package published-in text package year text etc. > We should decide whether to allow more than one bibliographic > information dataset per package (and how to distinguish these). In a previous discussion (which I can not find for the moment), there was no objection to do the contrary: support only one reference. The web sentinel has currently the same limitation anyway. In the case a package contains multiple programs to be cited with multiple articles, I was considering using a field with a name like ‘Reference-List-URL’, that contains a link to an upstream web page that contains all the instructions and references. Such pages are usually available in these cases.
