First of all, your data are not lost. The getref command returns a
fairly compact format by default which is convenient if you browse the
results for particular hits. In order to keep the output clean, many
tags are suppressed by default. To make sure all of the tags were
imported properly, run a command like

getref -t ris :ID:=15

to display the results using the input format.

In order to display more details in the default screen format, use the
-s switch, e.g.:

getref -s ALL :ID:=15

to display all available fields, or

getref -s N1AVRP

to display your notes, the availability, and the reprint status in
addition to the default fields. Needless to say that you can edit the
fields variable in ~/.refdbcrc to have additional fields displayed by
default.

Now for the RIS "style guide". The closest thing to such a guide is
the Reference Manager manual which is freely available as a PDF:

http://www.referencemanager.com/support/docs/ReferenceManager11.pdf

It contains a chapter on the RIS types and which fields they use.

regards,
Markus
