TITLE: Status of Beilinson conjectures?
QUESTION [12 upvotes]: (I hesitate to post that question here, but I received on answer on FB:) 
Does anyone know how the current status of work on them is? And how the possible generalizations etc. which one thinks currently on, look like?

REPLY [10 votes]: In addition to Andreas's excellent answer, we should also mention the Tamagawa number conjecture of Bloch and Kato, which predicts the undetermined rational factor arising in Beilison's conjectural description of the $L$-value. The Bloch-Kato conjecture was later reformulated and generalized by Fontaine and Perrin-Riou to the case of motives with coefficients in an arbitrary number field. Here are some references :
