You may want to look at the code for the BiBTex import/export translator by downloading the Scaffold FF extension (in the Developer section of this site). If you find that there are fields which should be exported but have not been coded for, then y…

I just implemented a RIS export format (using unAPI) for the site I work on and in this first version I have left the character set as UTF-8 also (what we use internally). So from my selfish point of view, assuming UTF-8 would work! But I think op…

Except it doesn't specify 7-bit ASCII—it specifies either "IBM Extended" or "Windows ANSI", depending on which copy of the spec you look at. My bad for thinking Windows ANSI was 7 bit ascii... I was reading Wikipedia and it said that Windows-1252 wa…

I've been thinking about this a bit more... and I think Zotero should interpret RIS format as UTF-8. Seeing as the RIS standard specifies 7-bit ascii and this is a subset of UTF-8, there shouldn't be a problem, as far as backwards compatability. …

The cause of problem 1 (non-ascii characters not importing properly) is probably due to the RIS standard specifying the character must be "Windows ANSI character set" (standard ascii according to Wikipedia). The RIS translator thinks it should be IB…

My modified RIS translator is below. Note: this is my first attempt at one of these, so apologies for any bugs, etc. If you want to try it for yourself, backup your Zotero files, install the Scaffold extension (see Developer section of Zotero site)…

Below are the fields mappings I used, which were taken from the RIS spec (which includes an example patent, as well as the Delphion example file mentioned above): TY - PAT T1 - title A1 - author 1 A1 - author 2 Y1 - publication date (issue dat…

I spent some time today editing the RIS translator using Scoffold. I've fixed most of the broken fields using the Delphion sample file as well as using the RIS unAPI output from my own dev site. The only fields not yet done are the two date fields Y…

I just added a post to the "unAPI support" thread (http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1229/unapi-support/#Item_4) on this very issue. I don't have an answer but can confirm the problem.

I've got unAPI with ris working with my site and Zotero is importing citations. Phew. The validator did show up errors (I actually crashed the validator the first time :-). Here is a URL if anyone is interested in trying it out (beta code)…

Thanks for those answers noksagt. I just wanted to make sure it would work before spending more time on it. I'm developing on a server behind a firewall, so haven't been able to run it against the unAPI validator yet. I think I'll bite the bul…
