Offer bibliographic data formats for reference management software #277

Open acka47 opened 8 years ago

acka47 commented 8 years ago

See discussion in https://github.com/hbz/nwbib/issues/40 and Philipp Zumstein und Matti Stöhr (2015): Zur Nachnutzung von bibliographischen Katalog- und Normdaten für die persönliche Literaturverwaltung und Wissensorganisation for background.

We should at least offer BibTeX and RIS. The mapping from our lobid data model will take most of the work and we should probably open a separate issue when needed at httüs://github.com/lobid/lodmill/issues.

Offering different data formats via the API could be done at least with two different approaches:

  1. using a query parameter like format=bibtex and format=ris
  2. via content negotiation using custom media types like application/bibtex and application/ris

How does the lobid data model look like?

If you would like to have many export formats and maybe even the formated citations from CSL styles, then one way to do that could be by using the zotero (export) translators and citeproc-js. For that you would "only" have to map your data model with the zotero data model...

Thanks for the help, @zuphilip. We are curently not working on this but plan to look into this deeper later this year. We might then approach you with some specific questions.
