Those of you interested in the bibliographic = database
problem might want to look at this new reference = (the
journal issue just appeared, despite the = date):

@string{EPODD =3D "Electronic = Publishing\emdash{}Origination,
  Dissemination, and Design"}

@Article{Harrison:EPODD-2-4-193,
  author =3D      = "Michael A. Harrison and Ethan V. Munson",
  title =3D       = "On integrated bibliography processing",
  journal =3D     = EPODD,
  year = =3D        "1989",
  volume =3D      = "2",
  number =3D      = "4",
  pages =3D       = "193--209",
  month =3D       = dec,
}

As to the use of the term `bibliographic data base' = for
BibTeX files: `data base' has unfortunately become a = generic
term for `computer file holding data for some = program',
which is probably unfortunate.

I do not believe that BibTeX ever should become a = program in
the sense of real commercial data base systems like = Ingress,
Oracle, ....; rather than the tasks of ensuring = against file
corruption, screen-oriented input, SQLs, and all = that,
topics which concern big data base systems, what is = more
relevant now for the TeX community is resolution of = the
issues of

(1) identifying suitable keyword entries, and entry = types,
to extend those already supplied by BibTeX 0.99, = and

(2) figuring out how to cleanly support the production = of
multiple bibliographies from a single LaTeX .aux = file

and others discussed in the paper Frank Mittelbach = presented
at Cork, for which I have the following entry:

@Article{Wonneberger:TB12-1-xxx,
  author =3D       = "Reinhard Wonneberger and Frank Mittelbach",
  title = =3D        "{\BibTeX} = reconsidered",
