I would adapt the numeric-comp style in biblatex to give the following reference/citation format sepcified by the IET Journals:
Journal article
Smith, T., and Jones, M.: ‘The title of the paper’, IET Syst. Biol., 2007, 1, (2), pp. 1–7
Conference paper
Jones, L., and Brown, D.: ‘The title of the conference paper’. Proc. Int. Conf. Systems Biology, Stockholm, Sweden, May 2006, pp. 1–7
Book, book chapter and manual
Hodges, A., and Smith, N.: ‘The title of the book chapter’, in Brown, S. (Ed.): ‘Handbook of Systems Biology’ (IEE Press, 2004, 1st edn.), pp. 1–7
Harrison, E.A., and Abbott, C.: ‘The title of the book’ (XYZ Press, 2005, 2nd edn. 2006)
Thesis
Abbott, N.L.: ‘The title of the thesis’. PhD thesis, XYZ University, 2005
but I have no idea where to start. This is what I have done so far:

which isn't exactly right. Noticeably, lack of colons, parentheses in book publishers, etc
Thank you very much in advance.
