11. running time
12. section
13. report number
14. meeting name

17. Report type

i am indexing title like this

<meta name="dc.title" content="lorem ipsum"/>

if anyone know how to index them then please put a reply.

I don't think DC can do all of this - Zotero certainly can't read all of it in DC format, but I think the main issue is that they're just not defined in the standard. The only way I know how you can get all of these into Zotero is by using unAPI and a data-rich format like Bibliontology RDF or MODS (though even with MODS not all of these will work).

thanks for your reply..

can you please give an example how to use this or can you share any link for this...?

thanks for your prompt reply...but i already review this link and didn't get any help regarding indexing the above fields in the zotero...

I'm not sure what you mean by "didn't get any help"?
As I say - this is possible using unAPI and Bibliontology RDF. Under the link you find a brief description of unAPI and a link to more in-depth documentation.
If you don't understand the documentation, ask more specific questions either on stack overflow or on zotero-dev.
If implementing unAPI is not an option for you, the answer to your question is that it cannot be done.
The available formats for providing metadata (DC as well as google/highwire) in site headers are quite limited and not suitable for displaying complex formats like the ones you ask about.

Zotero can handle a couple of these:
(dc here refers to http://purl.org/dc/terms/)

2. Series

using citation_series_title

9. Journal Abbr

Should be picked up by dc.alternative

13. report number

citation_technical_report_number

14. meeting name

citation_conference_title or citation_conference are mapped to conferenceName

16. program title

If by this you mean computer program, then you can get this done through DC.title and DC.type="software"

17. Report type

This is currently assigned from dc.type, but that's a bit useless since the only way to indicate that it's a report is by dc.type='report' or by including "citation_technical_report_institution" meta tag

Thanks aurimas,

i got only 3 items using dc those are "Series", "Journal Abbr" and "report number".

can you please let me know how to find other items using dc.

aurimas

i got only 3 items using dc those are "Series", "Journal Abbr" and "report number".

I'm not sure what you mean by "got" there. A link to the webpage you are testing would probably be helpful.

The information above is coming straight from Zotero's Embedded Metadata and RDF translators, which is what Zotero uses to retrieve the metadata you're referring to. I'm working on improving these to recognize more meta tags other than Dublin Core. You may want to look into PRISM, eprints, and open graph protocol metadata specifications. Zotero already supports these to some extent and hopefully will soon be improved to handle them better.

abid

Oh sorry....

i mean, i successfully mapped these three three items "Series", "Journal Abbr" and "report number".

Hi adamsmith,

i studied unapi at "http://unapi.info/specs/" but didn't understand the documentation that how i can implement this.

If possible, can u please explain it in steps. e.g i want to implement unapi using MODS to index book in zotero then how can i implement it.

The detail of example is given below.

Book:

title = lorem ipsum
body = lorem ipsum lorem ipsum
# of Volumes = 3
# of pages = 200
place = uk


thanks in advance

adamsmith

post to zotero-dev or stack overflow, as I say above.
In either case it would be helpful to describe in a bit more detail the nature of what you're trying to do in specific rather than abstract terms.
Note that the unAPI site has many running examples as well as links e.g. to a wordpress plugin.
