Description
I have more or less convinced myself that 100% I want to store reference information as a JSON object instead of as a traditional table. However, the question then becomes what schema the JSON object should follow.
We have what we made for PBot 1.0 Reference nodes, which is pretty good, but it could be argued we should use a "standard".
The problem is there's no strong JSON standard for reference information. The bibJSON spec never took off and is essentialy abandonware. One possibility is something with the CSL-JSON spec https://citeproc-js.readthedocs.io/en/latest/csl-json/markup.html#introduction. I'm not sure it really adds anything though other than we can pat ourselves on the back at the end for being "interoperable". Anyway, something to think about.
