+In my previous life I was using heavily TeX and BibTeX for writing
+a scholarly articles when working on my PhD in sociology. When doing
+a large BibTeX database of bibliopgraphy there is a certain moment when
+one needs to establish some order in creating new keys for the
+individual references. When I hit that moment, I started to look around
+whether somebody didn’t do some thinking about the design of the
+bibliography keys. I found almost nothing on the Web perhaps because
+there was actually a file *bibshare* (originally in
+``$TEXMF/doc/bibtex/base/bibshare`` now I cannot find it anywhere, so
+I have download a version from older ``tetex`` RPM to `my website`_).
+It describes pretty nice standard, which really should be rewritten into
+RFC or something of that sort. The two biggest advantages are stable
+keys (so bibliographies can be exchanged) and a more rememberable ones.
+So, whenever I see now ``granovetter:AJS-1973-1360`` I do remember (and it
+has been couple of years, since I used BibTeX last time) that it is an
+awesome article "`The Strength of Weak Ties`_" by Mark Granovetter.
