Getting Zotero to work with Exhibit and Citeline (via Zotz and Babel)

Arithmeticus
Greetings Zoteroes. I have started a new knowledge base document to explain the issues behind getting a Zotero collection ready for Exhibit or Citeline, and to note the limitations of Zotz and Babel.

Please add to this article, based on your prior experience. I am currently working on a VisualBasic macro for Word that I hope will aid others in the now-strenuous effort to export a Zotero collection into an Exhibit-ready JSON database.

Perhaps one day we can have direct support within Zotero for converting to JSON?

    You may find it useful to look at Frank's work creating citeproc-js (http://bitbucket.org/fbennett/citeproc-js/wiki/Home); specifically, you'll see that the input data for citeproc-js is in the form of JavaScript objects. The Zotero trunk can speak with citeproc-js, so it ought to be possible to get Zotero to emit the JS objects for a collection. That would presumably make the job of Zotz much much easier.

    And for a look at the actual form of the data, look at the source for the citeproc-js demo.
