Scraping author names when there are multiple, non-hyphenated (apparent) last names
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6963/8/154
Zotero (1.5 Sync 3.5) Sees this as last name Louis Simonet, and only with some sluthing on pubmed am I certain that Louis is a middle name and Simonet the surname.
So, while recognizing that this is not a simple algorithmic problem, is there a way to improve the scraping here? Perhaps the task is to ask BioMed to adopt clearer COINS coding? Is this best resolved with Zotero or BioMed?
Regards,

it looks like a middle name. I don't know.
Anyhow, I have written to biomed and suggested they contact Zotero. I don't have an email for Zotero, so perhaps bdarcus would drop a note to his contact.
Kudos again for Z.
