The dbus vs. uno stuff is beyond me, but ...

Currently we are talking about Zotero. They are using SOAP and this is

adequate for the task, it should be usable from all decent RPC layers
and is platform independent. What else do we need?
My suggestion to "translate" the SOAP API into something more general
was only an idea how we could extend this into something even more
widely usable in OOo.
As I mentioned before, the ZOOM API is an abstract API. It is
implemented in the open source Index Data library Yaz, which includes
support for three protocols: z39.50 (an old library standard), and
the newer SRW (SOAP) and SRU (REST).
This is why we've in general favored using this. If either of you
find time (or find the illusion of having time!), let me know what
you think.

We have contact with some of the principle authors of the spec and
the code, so an easy way to have questions answered.
