Since you two seem to know a bit about such things and you're on the
topic ...

I have a largish annotated bibliography from my college days consisting
mainly of psychoacoustics literature. Some time in the next year or two
I hope to start studying that stuff again (along with DSP). When I do I 
want to move the bibliography to a more flexible format (currently in 
MSword 6.0 on my old beige powermac that hasn't been powered on in 
almost 2 years ... )

The main points of interest for me are my annotations, of course, but
also, as I created it I kept track of which and how many other texts
listed a given text in their bilbliography. I did this to get a sense of
what I should read to better understand what I had already read (if that
makes any sense ... )

When I get around to going forward with my studies I want to continue
adding the bibliographies of any texts I read to my data store in a way
that allows me to keep tabs on which authors and which particular texts
are referred to most often. I want this to give me a guide of sorts to 
whose most recent publications to keep track of and which canonical 
texts to be sure to study.

I don't have any formal computer science training and little pratical
experience with database or content management systems. Is there an
existing system or program I could use to do what I want? Or what
direction would you recommend looking into if I manage to try to code
something in python for myself? I'm willing and interested to learn
about this stuff, but don't know where to start. I don't have time for
this project right now, but since you guys are on the topic I was 
hoping to get some pointers to store away for later.

Thanks,
Eric Rz.
