Dear colleagues,
This is part of an Arcadia-funded study on non-Roman script functionality in
VuFind and other Solr-powered discovery systems.
Do you have any Chinese, Korean, or Japanese language specialists at your
institution to whom you could pass along this brief survey (see link below)?
Anyone know if there's any developer documentation for Zotero on it's
use of unAPI? Alternately, anyone know where I can find the answers to
these questions, or know the answers to these questions themselves?
1. What formats will Zotero use via unAPI. What mime content-types does
it use to
from looking at line 14 here
https://www.zotero.org/trac/browser/extension/trunk/translators/unAPI.js
i'd say:
ad 1. RECOGNIZABLE_FORMATS = [mods, marc, endnote, ris,
bibtex, rdf] also see function checkFormats
ad 2. the order listed above
ad 4.: from my experience the unapi scraper takes
This was the only information I found when I developed unAPI support for
our MetaLib installation:
http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1229/unapi-support/. Based on my
experimentation and looking at the code, if my memory serves:
1. At least the formats mentioned in the forum post. I believe
Wait, does it actually recognize the format by the format _name_ used,
and not by a mime content-type? Like unless my unAPI server calls the
endnote format endnote, it won't recognize it? That would be odd, and
good to know. I thought the unAPI format names were purely arbitrary,
but
well, looks like a combination:
in case of mods it checks for the namespace URL, in case of rdf, it
looks for a format name of rdf_dc, ...
and yes, endnote export would have to have a name of endnote (i ran
into this problem as well with names like endnote-utf-8, ...). i think
unapi would be more
Yeah, we need some actual documentation on Zotero's use of unAPI in
general. Maybe if I can figure it out (perhaps by asking the
developer(s)) I'll write some for them.

The unAPI support is also...non-ideal...in that you can't present
preferences for the best format to use. For example, the Refworks
Tagged format just plain has more tags (and hence more or
more-finely-grained information) than other formats (e.g., Endnote),
but Zotero will prefer Endnote just
It's still a LOT better than COinS for Zotero, I assume though. I'd like
there to be better documentation to encourage more people to use unAPI
instead of COinS; even the limited Zotero documentation there is admits
that COinS is pretty limited.

Yes, if only because you get more complete metadata with things like
RIS than COinS does via OpenURL. I do like the theoretical benefit of
a metadata format request API , but the promise of richer metadata
(primarily for Zotero)
At the moment Zotero development seem to be focussing on the use of RDFa
using the Bibo ontology for picking up bib details from within pages (see
discussion on the Bibo Google group)

I am looking to find or create a shortlist of ILSes, open or
proprietary, that provide API access to bibliographic and item-level
data. I am really only looking for ILSes that are used by academic
libraries.
Do you know of any resources that might be helpful? I started with

Just an FYI about our recently posted position.
Best,
