RDF -> Item Types
I'm searching for some sort of documentation about how Zotero exports RDF files.
It appears that, depending on what item type I choose, each item is stored with a different parent in the exported RDF.
For example:
- If the item type is "Web Page", most metadata is stored in <bib:Document>
- If the item type is "Document, most metadata is stored in <RDF:Description>
- If the item type is "Journal Article", most metadata is stored in <bib:Article>
Mainly, I need a list of possible parents:
- <bib:Document>
- <RDF:Description>
- <bib:Article>
- and so on
Does anyone know where I can find these? I'm hoping that I won't have to create a sample item using each item type to figure this out.
Thanks!

So, am I understanding this wrong?
Let's say for example I'm looking in the RDF for the date added...
Web pages would place this in:
<bib:Document ......... dcterms:dateSubmitted="2009-01-13 15:47:44">
Journal articles would place this in:
<bib:Article ......... dcterms:dateSubmitted="2009-01-13 15:47:44">
Is that part right?
<bib:Document dcterms:dateSubmitted="2009-01-13 15:47:44">
... or ..
<bib:Document>
<dcterms:dateSubmitted>2009-01-13 15:47:44</dcterms:dateSubmitted>
... or ...
<rdf:Description>
<rdf:type rdf:resource="http://purl.org/net/bib/Document"/>
<dcterms:dateSubmitted>2009-01-13 15:47:44</dcterms:dateSubmitted>
... all mean the same thing. It matters that you know this if you're trying to process RDF/XML using plain XML tools.
As an added wrinkle, Mozilla's RDF support is a little dated.
Although there are several ways this information could be represented, Zotero’s RDF export only represents them as...
<bib:Document dcterms:dateSubmitted="2009-01-13 15:47:44">
My question is... that "bib:Document" part varies depending on the item type. I'm hoping for a list of those variations.
Does that make sense? Thanks...
