The LaTeX world is moving away from BiBTeX to the biblatex package, 
which has much increased functionality and is written in LaTeX code, 
rather than the unique — if interesting — reverse Polish notation used 
for BiBTeX .bst files.

To go with this is a new program (biber) to replace the old bibtex 
executable. The chief advantages are that biblatex+biber is *much* more 
extensible; it still uses the same .bib file format, so all existing 
.bib files still work; and it offers full UTF-8 support. AFAIK all the 
major formats are now available in biblatex and are under active 
maintenance.

There is a biblatexml markup format available in the biber program, 
although I haven't investigated this much yet; if it means it can output 
the cited references in XML, then it would be possible to write a small 
XSLT2 program to turn that into whatever Frame imports (DITA, DocBook, 
TEI, etc).
