Format of KeywordsGroup in bib file

Timo_K · February 18, 2019, 9:19am

Can some please explain what the single fields (and in particular the numerical entries) of the KeywordsGroup are in the bib files?

For instance:

1 KeywordGroup:Magazines\;0\;keywords\;magazine\;0\;0\;0\;\;\;\;;
2 KeywordGroup:Robotics and Automation\;1\;keywords\;RAS\;0\;0\;1\;\;\;\;;

How does this match to the groups I see in JabRef?

It’s a bit cryptic, but should be understandable even if you don’t have a programming background:

github.com

JabRef/jabref/blob/e5ede3aef4fa43758172d58bfb078cb77d8ca7e5/src/main/java/org/jabref/logic/exporter/GroupSerializer.java#L41-L61


private String serializeKeywordGroup(KeywordGroup group) {
    Boolean isRegex = group instanceof RegexKeywordGroup;
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    sb.append(MetadataSerializationConfiguration.KEYWORD_GROUP_ID);
    sb.append(StringUtil.quote(group.getName(), MetadataSerializationConfiguration.GROUP_UNIT_SEPARATOR, MetadataSerializationConfiguration.GROUP_QUOTE_CHAR));
    sb.append(MetadataSerializationConfiguration.GROUP_UNIT_SEPARATOR);
    sb.append(group.getHierarchicalContext().ordinal());
    sb.append(MetadataSerializationConfiguration.GROUP_UNIT_SEPARATOR);
    sb.append(StringUtil.quote(group.getSearchField(), MetadataSerializationConfiguration.GROUP_UNIT_SEPARATOR, MetadataSerializationConfiguration.GROUP_QUOTE_CHAR));
    sb.append(MetadataSerializationConfiguration.GROUP_UNIT_SEPARATOR);
    sb.append(StringUtil.quote(group.getSearchExpression(), MetadataSerializationConfiguration.GROUP_UNIT_SEPARATOR, MetadataSerializationConfiguration.GROUP_QUOTE_CHAR));
    sb.append(MetadataSerializationConfiguration.GROUP_UNIT_SEPARATOR);
    sb.append(StringUtil.booleanToBinaryString(group.isCaseSensitive()));
    sb.append(MetadataSerializationConfiguration.GROUP_UNIT_SEPARATOR);
    sb.append(StringUtil.booleanToBinaryString(isRegex));
    sb.append(MetadataSerializationConfiguration.GROUP_UNIT_SEPARATOR);


    appendGroupDetails(sb, group);


    return sb.toString();
}

(sorry, I’m somewhat short of time right now)
