I would like to upload my EndNote library (see http://www.freebase.com/view/reference_management_software) so that I can support my entries in Freebase via citations. In a perfect world, I would be able to synch (or in a less perfect world, import/export) a Refworks/EndNote/Procite library into Freebase. Is this an existing or planned capability? Most journal clearinghouses provide the option of exporting article metadata to a reference management software. It would be really, really nice if Freebase could accept these export files and reference management libraries.

I agree that this would be an excellent feature. I don't think the publishing domain schemata are quite up to handling this type of data yet, but we are working on improving them now, particularly with better support for scientific and academic journals, papers, etc. Once the schemata are in place, it should be possible for someone to create an application to import bibliographic data from a standard format or formats. I can't promise that Freebase itself will supply this kind of application any time soon (although we are working on some user-facing import tools), but it will certainly be possible through our API.

The EndNote schema can be downloaded here: http://www.endnote.com/support/helpdocs/RSXML.zip

Patents have similar citation nature.
Is is possible to incorporate USPTO data in freebase?
Thank you

This is a slightly different question. Once we have patent data, we can export it in proper citation format, but getting the structured data is the challenge. I replied about import in response to your previous post in Domains & Types.
