Include Item Types for Standards and in particular Internet RFCs

mguod

It would be useful to parse and format IETF RFCs better.

Choose any RFC either from the RFC data tracker ( e.g. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8200/) or the RFC editor page (e.g., https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8200).

In particular picking up the document number "RFC 8200" and the DOI.

A Standard type is planned. For now, the best fit is Report. Add the DOI to Extra like this:
DOI: 10.1234/56789

Having a standard type would be great! Please let me know when this can be tested.

The other thing I would like to have is a style that used the Report/Standard number as the citation key.

e.g. from the example above, generating a citation such as [RFC8200] with a bibliography such as:

[RFC8200] Deering, S. and R. Hinden, "Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Specification", STD 86, RFC 8200, DOI 10.17487/RFC8200, July 2017, .

Do you know of a style that uses report/standard numbers as citation keys?

I would be more than happy to contribute to this - it would be be very helpful for my Zotero use. Especially if it would capture properly with the firefox plugin.

It has been 2+ years since the reply that a "standard type is planned".

Where do we stand on that?

thanks

A standard item type is included in CSL 1.0.2 which is currently under review for release.

Would also be nice if it could translate rfcXXXX to the DOI for the magic add tool.
