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.

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.

Have a nice day,
