CiteProc

{{Short description|Bibliography and reference software specification}}

CiteProc is the generic name for programs that produce formatted bibliographies and citations based on the metadata of the cited objects and the formatting instructions provided by Citation Style Language (CSL) styles. The first CiteProc implementation used XSLT 2.0, but implementations have been written for other programming languages, including JavaScript,{{cite web |url=https://bitbucket.org/fbennett/citeproc-js/wiki/Home |title=fbennett- citeproc-js - wiki - Home — Bitbucket |publisher=Atlassian |date=18 Mar 2014 |accessdate=19 Apr 2014 |archive-date=10 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161010053122/https://bitbucket.org/fbennett/citeproc-js/wiki/Home |url-status=dead }} Java,{{cite web|url=https://michel-kraemer.github.io/citeproc-java |title=citeproc-java |publisher=Michel Krämer |date=27 Feb 2014 |accessdate=19 Apr 2014}} Haskell,{{cite web |url=http://gorgias.mine.nu/repos/citeproc-hs |title=citeproc-hs - A Haskell Implementation of the Citation Style Language |publisher=Andrea Rossato |date=17 Mar 2012 |accessdate=19 Apr 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140430040144/http://gorgias.mine.nu/repos/citeproc-hs/ |archive-date=30 April 2014 |url-status=dead }} PHP,{{cite web|url=https://github.com/seboettg/citeproc-php |title=seboettg / citeproc-php — GitHub |date=15 Mar 2013 |accessdate=2 Jun 2016}} Python,{{cite web|url=https://pypi.python.org/pypi/citeproc-py/ |title=citeproc-py: Python Package Index }} Ruby{{cite web|url=https://github.com/inukshuk/citeproc-ruby |title=citeproc-ruby }} and Emacs Lisp.{{cite web|url=https://github.com/andras-simonyi/citeproc-el |title=citeproc-el }}

CiteProc, CSL, and Cite Schema make up the Citation Style Language project, a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike licensed effort "to provide a common framework for formatting bibliographies and citations across markup languages and document standards. In an ideal world, one could use the same CSL files to format DocBook, TEI, OpenOffice, WordML ... or even LaTeX documents."{{cite web|url=https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0 |title=Creative Commons- Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported- CC BY-SA 3.0 |publisher=Creative Commons |date=25 Mar 2014 |accessdate=19 Apr 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://xbiblio.sourceforge.net/index.html |title=XBiblio |publisher=Bruce D’Arcus |date=29 Aug 2010 |accessdate=19 Apr 2014}}

Different implementations of CiteProc are able to use different bibliographic databases; many can use MODS XML.
