DRAFT Bibliographic Project's Developer Page
Project Overview
.
The role of the Bibliographic Project (OOoBib) is to support the OpenOffice.org Writer (wordprocessing) application by enhancing the bibliographic facility. See our Vision statement for details. Our current objection to to design and build OOoBib version 0.1, which will contain the most basic functions for an usable bibligraphic facility.
For an overview of the Bibliographic project's major components and a context diagram see components.html. There is information about the current OpenOffice Bibliographic implementation. A start has been made to the Specification for this work (see the Projects Specifications folder on the Documents and Files page). Also see a attempt at an analysis of the proposed Bibliographic enhancement components and their relationships. The best place to start for finding out about development in OpenOffice is the OpenOffice.org For Developers page. An important resource is the Developer's guide which is part of the SDK (software development kit) or available online on at [1] The OOo API is based on UNO (Universal Network Objects) is the interface-based component model of OpenOffice.org. UNO offers interpretability between different programming languages, different object models, different machine architectures and different processes; either in a local network or even via the Internet. UNO components can be implemented in and accessed from any programming language for which a UNO language binding exists. We currently provide several language bindings for UNO which allows to use the API from Java, C++, OpenOffice.org Basic, Python and Common Language Infrastructure (CLI).
