How do I use IEEE and AIP bibliography styles in biblatex? Is there a resource somewhere that has bbx and cbx style files?

For AIP, I have seen REVTeX, but it only uses the basic BibTeX bst, not the BibLaTeX bbx and cbx. Also, I do not know how to use just the bibliography style without having to use the REVTeX document class.

At present, there is no AIP style. As I do biblatex-chem, I was thinking of doing a similar biblatex-phys bundle. If that's of interest, this question would be a good impetus to do it: I can probably have something to CTAN by Monday. Would that help? – Joseph Wright♦ Feb 10 '11 at 11:23
@Joseph: That would be much appreciated :) I don't mean to be self-important, but biblatex-ieee is more useful in the short term (only personally). Though if you prefer to do biblatex-phys, I don't mind. I do hope biblatex-ieee won't be far behind. Your volunteering to do even just one of them is a lot already. Really, thank you :) – Kit Feb 10 '11 at 12:03

@kit. I'm more familiar with some of the physics styles than what the IEEE do. However, as there is a BibTeX style to start from it should not be too hard. I'll do IEEE first, then. Expect a '0.1' version for testing in the first instance. – Joseph Wright♦ Feb 10 '11 at 12:20
@kit. I see that there are a range of .bst files for the IEEE, but by the look of things I can cover all of them with one biblatex style. – Joseph Wright♦ Feb 10 '11 at 12:24
@Joseph: Sounds good. Your work will surely help everyone else as well. – Kit Feb 10 '11 at 12:49

I have just uploaded a first version of biblatex-ieee to CTAN. This should implement most of the style of the BibTeX part of the IEEEtran bundle. Obviously some testing is needed, but this should enable you to use something very close to the IEEE style using biblatex.

Second answer will follow once I've done some physics styles. May be a few more days: I have other stuff to do :-) – Joseph Wright♦ Feb 12 '11 at 19:13
