handle.net id is not grabbed - why?

beogl · July 28, 2014

Dear Zotero,

This page has no specific Zotero site translator. Instead the generic translator for meta data is used:

https://gupea.ub.gu.se/handle/2077/34970

Now in the meta data there is this which gives the unique and persistent URI:

<meta name="DC.identifier" content="http://hdl.handle.net/2077/34970" scheme="DCTERMS.URI" />

However this URI is not stored in the Zotero record. Instead the URL of the page (see above is used).

What is the reason for this?

aurimas · July 28, 2014

Short answer is that we don't recognize URLs exposed as DC.identifier. I haven't seen this used that much, so I'm not sure that we should. There are a number of other ways to indicate a persistent URL that we do recognize, but I'll see what we can do.

What would be the preferred way to tell the persistent URI on the web page?

aurimas · July 28, 2014

We'll take any of the following (in given order)
http://purl.org/eprint/terms/official_url
http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns#url
http://ogp.me/ns#url
http://prismstandard.org/namespaces/basic/2.0/url
http://prismstandard.org/namespaces/basic/2.1/url
http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/uri
citation_public_url
citation_abstract_html_url
citation_fulltext_html_url

Though we _should_ also take <link rel="canonical"... and perhaps what you display above, though MDN states that "scheme" attribute is now obsolete

Thanks aurimas, very good.

Is there perhaps any official list like the one above I could point those responsible for the web page to? Or should I try to direct them to this discussion?

aurimas · July 28, 2014

Unfortunately, nothing up-to-date exists.

beogl · July 28, 2014

Ok, thanks.

I think this is the default behaviour of the repository system they're using. Cf. https://tspace.library.utoronto.ca

beogl · July 29, 2014

Thanks dunning, that is important information, but is it really TSPACE? The sources from the page says

<meta name="Generator" content="DSpace 1.8.2" />

DSpace seems to be a free software project (http://www.dspace.org/license/):

DSpace | DSpace is a turnkey institutional repository application. http://www.dspace.org/

I see some discussions on the net that looks like transfering data from TSpace to DSpace.
