GROBID TEI to bibtex

[stzellerhoff]

Hi,

I am using a dockerized version of grobid to extract references from scientific pdfs. The available output format is TEI (direct bibtex is not possible using the docker version). Converting it using the teitobibtex script produces incorrect bibtex files. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thank you!

Could you provide samples of the TEI and the bibtex output, and describe the features which are incorrect?

Looks like the name problem is in https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/blob/dev/bibtex/convertbib.xsl about line 176. It's looking for a tei:author/tei:surname and is presented with a tei:author/tei:persName/tei:surname instead.

Should be pretty straight forward to add conditional clauses for that (and the same for editor above), but I'm not in front of suitable machine to code and test that right now.

The date is encoded purely as an attribute rather that as XML text, which is not really the TEI way,but could be handled about line 86 of the same file.

Hi!

I gave it a try, but could not fix the output correctly - probably due to a lack of knowing how to exactly...
