I would suggest looking the LaTeX book, p. 144:

    "BibTeX ignores any field that is not required or optional,
    so you can include any fields you want in a bib file entry.
    It's a good idea to put all relevant information about a
    reference in its bib file entry--even though information that
    may never appear in the bibliography. For example, if you
    want to keep an abstract of a file in a computer file, put it
    in an abstract field the paper's bib file entry."
