Whenever you have an electronic source for reference data, you should use these instead of typing datasets from scratch. Reference data come in a variety of formats. Therefore refdb ships with a few conversion utilities which are discussed in this chapter.

The following utilities create tagged RIS data from the input data. The final section of this chapter gives some hints about converting data to the risx XML format that refdb supports since version 0.9.3.
