Mark,
Yes, the conversion goes through http://simile.mit.edu/babel/, as clear
from this code here:
http://static.simile.mit.edu/exhibit/api-2.0/scripts/data/importers/babel-based-importer.js
If you don't want that, then after you include exhibit-api.js, add in
this code:
<script>
Exhibit.BabelBasedImporter.load = function(link, database, cont) {
var url = (typeof link == "string") ?
Exhibit.Persistence.resolveURL(link) :
Exhibit.Persistence.resolveURL(link.href);
var reader = "rdf-xml";
var writer = "exhibit-jsonp";
if (typeof link != "string") {
var mimetype = link.type;
if (mimetype in Exhibit.BabelBasedImporter.mimetypeToReader) {
reader = Exhibit.BabelBasedImporter.mimetypeToReader[mimetype];
}
}
if (reader == "bibtex") {
writer = "bibtex-exhibit-jsonp";
}
var babelURL = "http://simile.mit.edu/babel/translator?"; + [
"reader=" + reader,
"writer=" + writer,
"url=" + encodeURIComponent(url)
].join("&");
return Exhibit.JSONPImporter.load(babelURL, database, cont);
};
</script>
and replace http://simile.mit.edu/babel/ with your own Babel instance.
