Zotero-enable site without any translator ?

gjactat
Hello,
I'm working in a company that edit a web based meta search engine.
Since we'd like our customers to benefit from Zotero, we started looking at translators.
For sure, we could build such a translator for our web front-end. But still, is there any way to avoid this ? Is it possible to change our markup so that a standard Zotero translator would understand our content ? Some kind of "standard translator" that would expect specific classes on tags, micro-formats or any smart markup ? This would be easier for us than coding and - even more - deploying a cutom translator.

Thanks for any answer.

Guillaume.

    this has been talked about a few times, so you can search for more info.

    My personal recommendation is UnAPI+MODS XML. (However, you can use UnAPI with other bibliographic formats if you are already generating something & you can use COinS if UnAPI implementation is problematic (though it shouldn't be).)

    I started working on some documentation on making your site Zotero ready. It is not completely fleshed out yet but you might find it useful.

    Thank you very much for your help ! I'ml going to look at UnAPI since it seems to fit our needs.
