I am more than happy to integrate a consistent system of keywords
into my bibliography.  I made a commitment to maintain mine 10 years.
Annotations and added keywords are most welcome.  I integrate those
bibs posted to various boards when I have time as well.  [I will tell you
right now that "real" isn't a good word.  "available" and "serious"
are also subject to question.  But we can iterate.]  One can see
differing commentary in some of the annotations in my bib with the
data flow and control flow people arguing.

I just have to receive the feedback.  If I don't get it, it's lost
in the wire: out into the virtual Ether.  Hey and it's free, I just have to
keep Prentice-Hall happy, since they hold Satyararanyan's copyright.
You should just ask whom at CMU has the current copy (perhaps HT Kung).

Yet Another gross generalization from
