As of April 2008, Cite Schema had been adopted Fact|date=July 2008;and the rest of the XBib system was under consideration for use by OpenOffice [Cite Proc at OpenOffice Bibliographic Project. http://bibliographic.openoffice.org/citeproc/index.html] [OpenOffice Bibliographic Project. http://bibliographic.openoffice.org/] .
