Zotero Ready Metadata

[davidamichelson]

Hi all, trying to call it a day but just thought of this for both GEDSH and corpus. We need to revise our embedded metadata for these new projects. (Actually we ought to do a thorough review for Syriaca.org too, but anyway).

Here is the documentation page from Zotero: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/exposing_metadata One issue is that there does not seem to be a current preferred standard format. There is a hint here that JSON-LD may become so: https://github.com/zotero/publications/issues/19

Anyway, for now let's hone in on GEDSH, I looked at what we have for Antioch article out of the box and it is not bad but has at least one Syriaca.org hold over.

Here is my preferred citation exported out of Zotero using Bibo which they claim to like. Winona can you work out how to get that out of the TEI Header for http://wwwb.library.vanderbilt.edu/exist/apps/e-gedsh/entry/Antioch/tei or do you want paths? Not sure why it does the funky foaf thing with the author instead of dc terms. Anyway, let's discuss in person perhaps before you do anything Winona?

@davidamichelson lets add it to the Monday meeting to discuss.

@davidamichelson I have made some improvements, Zotero does not seem to read all the meta tags as I would expect. We could also experiment with adding properties to elements within the page, in particular this could be useful in the bibliographic citations. However I would need some guidance on what schema to use.

Example of a property within the page:

<div property="dc:source">“Manuscript Index,” in <em property="dc:title">Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage: Electronic Edition</em>, edited by, <span property="dc:contributor">Sebastian P. Brock</span>, <span property="dc:contributor">Aaron M. Butts</span>, <span property="dc:contributor">George A. Kiraz</span> and <span property="dc:contributor">Lucas Van Rompay</span>, <span property="dc:identifier">http://gedsh.bethmardutho.org/Manuscript-Index</span>. In theory this could help with Zotero, and also with any other service scraping the site for RDF data. We do have an RDF serialization (locally only at the moment) as well, but Zotero does not seem to follow the link to it, I assume some service will and some will not.

Great, can we keep this open please and review on Monday?

@dlschwartz I think we forgot to discuss this on Monday. Can we do it next Monday?
