I'm not interested in manage a library. That kind of projects schema are
mostly complex and lending and storing oriented. I just want to store
scientific references in a satisfactory way. I'm surprised that all the
scientific databases schema are simplistic for references, and that
no-one has published or produced such a database schema, probably useful
and reusable.

so, I may have to create it, as said Josh, and publish it :-)

thanks
