Zotero and COinS

rena

Hello,

First of all, thanks for the great tool!

I have noticed a couple of problems while using Zotero with COinS:
- unfortunately Zotero doesn't support rft.language, although the COinS
generator creates it.
- rft.description is added to the field "Extra" and not to "Abstract".

In addition, I don't have support for the following document types: Image, Sheet Music and Journal. It is possible to include them in the next version of Zotero?

Regards,

Rena

Just to say 'me too' really. Zotero could persuade me to use Firefox more regularly. I usually use Opera and Safari. I've modified the Wordpress plug-in to add the_excerpt as rft.description on my own site and while mapping to Extra isn't a huge problem, abstract would seem more appropriate.

To add a description you just add:
&rft.description=<?php echo(urlencode(get_the_excerpt())); ?>
somwhere in the part that forms the SPAN.

Hi,
We are in the process of implementing COinS over our portal (www.revues.org) and we notice the same problem :
- Zotero doesn't support our rft.language.
- Our rft.description is not supported too
Here is a sample code :

<span class="Z3988" title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.title=Le+vocabulaire+%C3%A9conomique+et+technique+des+polyptyques&rft.atitle=Le+vocabulaire+%C3%A9conomique+et+technique+des+polyptyques&rft.eissn=1957-7745&rft.issn=0982-1783&rft_id=http://devel.revues.org/07/histoiremesure/document833.html&amp;rfr_id=info:sid/http://devel.revues.org/07/histoiremesure/document833.html:833&amp;rft.language=fr&amp;rft.rights=Propriété+intellectuelle&amp;rft.date=2003-12-20&amp;rft.pages=313-333&amp;rft.genre=article&amp;rft.type=article&amp;rft.description=L’analyse+factorielle+du+vocabulaire+économique+et+technique+d’un+corpus+documentaire+de+huit+polyptyques+carolingiens+(ixe siècle)+relatif+aux+domaines+agricoles+situés+entre+Loire+et+Rhin+révèle+que+ces+textes+utilisent+certes+quelques+formules+de+base,+mais+surtout+que+chaque+polyptyque+a+ses+caractères+propres.+Elle+permet+de+mettre+en+évidence+une+vingtaine+de+mots+de+base,+liés+aux+impératifs+d’une+description+des+domaines+agricoles,+et+de+nombreuses+oppositions+lexicales+entre+les+textes.+S’il+existait+peut-être+des+formulaires+types+menant+à+la+rédaction+d’un+polyptyque,+l’étude+du+vocabulaire+de+ce+corpus+reflète+que+chacun+des+gestionnaires+ou+des+rédacteurs+rédigeait+son+document+selon+des+objectifs+précis+liés+aux+besoins+locaux.The+Economic+and+Technical+Vocabulary+of+Polyptychs.+Factorial+Analysis+of+economic+and+technical+vocabulary+of+eight+Carolingian+polyptychs+of+the+9th+Century+relative+to+agricultural+domains+located+between+the+Loire+and+the+Rhine+reveals+that+these+texts+used,+of+course,+several+formulas+in+commun,+but+more+importantly,+that+each+was+an+individual+statement.+The+analysis+reveals+some+twenty+basic+words+requisite+for+a+description+of+agricultural+domains+and+numerous+lexical+oppositions+among+the+texts+at+the+same+time.+If+indeed+there+are+typical+formulations+used+in+the+construction+of+a+polyptych,+study+of+the+vocabulary+reveals+that+each+was+ordered+according+to+the+specific+objectives+of+local+needs.&amp;rft.issue=3/4&amp;rft.volume=XVIII&amp;rft.jtitle=Histoire+et+mesure&amp;rft.au=Guérault,+Stéphane">

Does anyone has an idea if its a known bug or a feature request to come or anything else we miss ?
At last I want to send so many thanks from France to the Zotero team for developping such a wonderful tool.
Best regards,
Jean-Christophe
