Problems with Item Type recognizing?

dceljak

Hi,

I am trying to expose metadata to Zotero throug META tags (Embedded Metadata). We implemented support for Dublin Core and Highwire elements and most of the metadata is recognized by Zotero. The problem is that Zotero recognizes theses and dissertations as Itemy Type: Web Page.

We are using dc.type to expose the document type: master's thesis, undergraduate thesis, doctoral thesis, professional thesis, scientific master's theses (they all contains word "thesis").

Dissertation examples: https://dr.nsk.hr/islandora/search/?sort=dabar_sort_date_s%20desc

Which element is used by Zotero for Item Type detection? Is it dc.type?
Is there any vocabulary (like https://guidelines.openaire.eu/en/latest/literature/field_publicationtype.html) which we should use...should we use Item Types from this page: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/item_types_and_fields?

Thanks!

You have og:type=website. Remove that.
Consider adding citation_dissertation_institution too (though it shouldn't be needed).

I had actually never seen https://guidelines.openaire.eu/en/latest/literature/field_publicationtype.html
and I think we should (and will) implement those.

For your question, Zotero runs through various vocabularies to guess the item type. Using dublin core, dc.type "thesis" would import correctly.

We had dc.type (for Zotero, Google Scholar...) and og:type (for facebook, twitter...). We assumed that Zotero would use the dc.type value but that assumption was wrong :-) After we removed og:type everything works as expected.


adamsmith maybe Zotero shoud give greater significance to dc.type than og:type if there are both these meta elements.
