Citation style language

The Citation Style Language, commonly abbreviated CSL, was created by Bruce D'Arcus to describe bibliographic and citation formatting. While the functionality is similar to BibTeX .bst files, style files are authored in XML. CSL is used by various reference management software, including Zotero, CiteProc and Mendeley. CSL and CiteProc make up the XBib project, an effort to provide Bibliographies and Citations for XML. Much of this work was undertaken for use in OpenOffice [1][2].
