I find the format OK. I can't imagine a vastly superior format for
metadata...

I organize articles like
~/documents/literature/FirstAuthorYear[UniqueSuffixAsNecessary]
E.g.
~/documents/literature/smith88/smith88.bib
~/documents/literature/smith88/smith88.pdf
~/documents/literature/smith88/smith88_data.zip
~/documents/literature/smith88/smith88_notes.org
I then create
~/documents/literature/lit.bib
which is is a concatenation of all *.bib files in subfolders as well as a
special file, various.bib, which holds entries I don't want to maintain.
In addition, I generate lit.{org,html} which summarizes of all metadata
and notes with links to pdfs.
Cheers,
Rasmus
