The Asia & Europe Cluster at Heidelberg carries their content in MODS,
channeled to citeproc-js for rendering, with multilingual citation
support. The architect at Heidelberg is Jens Petersen, his contact
details are here:

You are very right to say that documentation on walking data between
the various formats should be closer to the surface. As things have
stabilized over the past year or so, it is within view - all we are
wanting is the time to work on it!
