Hi Andreas,

it looks like it is encoded word after the @.

  A BibTeX entry consists of the type (the word after @), a citation-key and a
  number of tags which define various characteristics of the specific BibTeX
  entry.

  http://www.bibtex.org/Format/

Regardless on the conclusion, documenting a Type field would help a lot to our
users to import the BibTeX entries that you assembled into their favorite
citation manager (like Bibus).

I added the following in the wiki:

  Type: A BibTeX entry type (http://www.bibtex.org/Format/) indicating what is
    cited. Typical values are article, book, or inproceedings. [To be discussed].
    In case this field is not present, article is assumed.
