  • Programmable object models for bibliographies and citations
    Patent number: 8086954
    Abstract: Programmable object models for bibliographies and citations enable manipulation of bibliographic information. For example, a programmable object model for one or more bibliographic sources in a document may include a manipulation module programmed to manipulate the one or more bibliographic sources in the document. The bibliographic information may be manipulated via at least one object-oriented message call. The programmable object model may also enable manipulation of bibliographic information in the context of a master list of bibliographic sources. By way of example only, bibliographic sources may be copied from a master list to a document, and vice versa, in accordance with a programmable object model.
