Thanks Karen and Mark, I'll definitely look into the Drupal/biblio
angle. The Views Datasource looks promising as well for the exposure
piece...

I agree with Mark that the Biblio module would be really good for
this. I'm using it on a project right now to keep track of
publications related to particular OCLC Web services. Can add
additional fields with CCK if you want. Can create different displays
with Views. Should be able to expose the data for other applications
to consume as well. There are a few different options for this. Maybe
Mark has a particular suggestion about this? I've been doing it with
Views and Views Datasource. I also have played with the Services and
REST Server modules.

Hi all,
We periodically create bibliographies to support faculty projects and are at
the point where we either want to roll our own re-usable software or adopt
something from the wild. We need something that can understand library
metadata on the way in and on the way out. We also need something that can
be available as a data store to different webapps, e.g. a subject guide, a
faculty publications webapp, etc. In other words, we need the datastore to
be queryable from a script.
I'm looking at Zotero, which seems to be hot on the harvesting end, but
seems to be conceived of as a tool for a single researcher at their browser.
I would need to flash Zotero's SQLite instance to a db table on my
webserver so the data would be available to scripts. Ideally, my harvesting
team could interact with the web application directly so there would be no
harvesting/export/import latency.
Any ideas if this is something we've already tackled in libraryland?
Thanks,
