As a matter of fact, I did. It wouldn't have been much of a test, otherwise,
would it? It took a while to find a way to search on DOI in the web interface,

I tried this briefly. It seems that searching WoS based on DOI is only allowed
through the web interface, not SOAP, so we're
AFAIK those services cost a lot. I do not see how that is compatible with an

I don't see what on earth you're talking about. We've supported Web of Science

Thank you. I'll study that.
I wonder how programs such as Papers and Mendeley are able to extract that info
from PDF files -- or do they not extract them from the PDFs?

Hi Tamer Özsu,
Look at the data you provided:
file = {:Users/tozsu/Documents/Collected Papers/Proceedings Papers/EDBT/EDBT
2011/LID11(EDBT)\_a6-zaniolo.pdf},
This is AFAIK not a valid file path, e.g. it starts with a :. I guess
Christiaan's word use 'junk' is more too often true than not.
No, they often do not extract them from the pdf. They often search in the pdf
for a doi and then provide the actual data from a provider such as ISI WOS or
other data base sources. BibDesk does not do that. As a consequence you see in
BibDesk how lousy the meta data in the pdf generally
HI Andreas,
Thanks for this. As I noted in a separate response, the path was easy to fix,
and I knew that -- what I didn't know was to set the default fields. Now the
file shows up.
The issue of importing PDF files was a separate question that I wondered about.
I was not at all criticizing

All of the SOAP calls are synchronous; they use the WSGeneratedObj-sync
runloop mode to block until results are available. As to whether it runs
well...I guess that depends :).

Some PDF files do have this information included as metadata that some programs
are able to extract. I thought there might be a mechanism such as that, but I
understand that there isn't.

There is, but most of that metadata is junk. Look for
