I was going to suggest BibTeX or some derivative. I am not familiar with
jabref, but even raw BibTeX knows how to ignore any field that is not
required or optional, so you can put your notes into some field, e.g.,
"comment", of your own.

I don't know of an off-the-shelf tool that would do all you want havng
BibTeX as input, but a bit of scripting may take you a very long
way. There ar some open source tools that may be useful for your
purposes, e.g., bibtex2html.
