AJOL African Journals Online

The web view of the journal article records on this site seem to contain all the necessary metadata within the html head section. However, Zotero recognizes this as a web page not a journal article. When I click on the webpage icon in the address bar almost everything is imported but not necessarily to the proper Zotero fields.

If someone could look at the form of the data the website is passing and identify a problem, I would be pleased to work with the database representatives.

Is there something that can be done to create an import translator if I cannot get this fixed at the source?

    huh - someone who knows the RDF translator should have a look at this - it certainly looks like it should work, but doesn't very well.
  • Thanks for the encouragement.

    Quite a few of the journals in this database have very interesting and useful articles for my ongoing research.
  • The embedded RDF translator isn't so hot and needs some more work, mainly because real embedded RDF on the web is of radically varying quality, so we need to do more massaging to make it work right.

    The main problem here is that the item type isn't being picked up correctly. I'll keep looking into it.
