  • I've never seen a need to include an issn, which is why it's not there. But we can add it. Feel free to do that if you like Rintze (to the "split" branch). On editors, I strongly recommend emacs nxml-mode, since it gives you realtime validation and…
  • I think you're "alternative" is the preferable approach, and that it could be handled with an extension (no need to be included within Zotero). I will probably be writing a little script to keep a local copy of my library in sync (in RDF; not bibtex…
  • In MakeBST, there's a "master" file that includes these instructions, which the script then uses to assemble the output style. To do the same thing conceptually with CSL could mean a "master.csl" file that only includes macros, which might have name…
  • Frank: tests definitely need to be UTF-8. Among other things, sorting unicode correctly is both important, often wrong (a lot of languages just don't do well with unicode), but testable. Just to be clear, my comment about the macros was meant to su…
  • IMHO, Zotero as a project needs to be responsible for less code; not more. It sounds like someone ought to fork LyXPipe and put it up on GitHub.
  • That's an interesting idea, Frank. Taking that a little father, even, it might be a way to build up a library of standard macros as well.
  • Actually, 1 is a reasonable request; it's asking to delimit the author disambiguation group. I just don't actually recall if we support that currently (probably not). I think issue 3 is the AGU example that I think Frank figured out.
  • Right. Just to be clear: while Zotero uses CSL and has helped with its development, it is not a Zotero project. The whole point of it is that it can be used in different applications.
  • Just for some background, I'm wanting to rationalize the existing styles a bit around common macro names, and to extract them, for use in something like this. Also, at the xbib project, there's some infrastructure for the tutorial, and there's the …
  • One correction I'd like to see: you put formatting instructions in the citation and bibliography elements. But I'd really like to see this done in macros, and for people to understand the importance of this feature.
  • The key is just to focus on the URIs as identifiers, and so to consider the entities in the model. Dealing with the syntax issues isn't hard; the rdfa "about" attribute allows you to specify a subject URI apart from the document proper in the same w…
  • I'm suggesting that the first and last parts—the user-specific parts—would be combined and would point to a global abstract item if one existed. So you're telling me that you want to mix what is exclusively user data (date added/updated and tags bei…
  • And how are you imaging that would work in ways not specific to particular applications or platforms? E.g .what you describe as a limitaton is actually a by-design feature.
  • Dan, on your last point, am a little unclear: are you suggesting collapsing all three of those entities I outline in the example RDF, or just the last two? The latter seems less problematic than the former.
  • @rfritz: not following what you mean.
  • Correct, Frank.
  • That shouldn't be a problem; it's a note style.
  • What do you mean "doesn't work"? Doesn't validate? Or, Zotero won't register it?
  • Done. Validation should now correctly flag errors of this sort.
  • Oops; a bug in the schema. The cs:id element's content is just "string." I'll fix that.
  • No, a URI. Check some examples from the Zotero repo. Also, see http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/csl_syntax_summary#info.
  • I don't see how your style could have validated as correct when it includes an empty id value. That id value is essential for Zotero (or any other application that support CSL) to be able to deal with your style.
  • Sure; no problem.
  • As a general rule, you should never need to use choose blocks within the citation or bibliography areas. That stuff should be confined to macros. It's precisely why you have this that you got stuck. Also, even within the macros, you seldom need to …
  • I'm also seeing a sync error on my Mac that I do not see on my Linux machine (though there are other differences between the two FF installs; the latter only has one add-on, the former many). Error report is 839960213.
  • On the vision thing, don't read too much into what I wrote. I'm just noting that the online sharing and recommendation functionality works best with more users. So unless they explicitly design for it, having many disparate servers limits the amount…
  • Just a thought, which may not align with what the Zotero team is thinking ... The Zotero team hasn't expressed much enthusiasm for dedicating programmer time to making this easy. This is I think in part b/c the Zotero 2.0 vision is essentially base…
  • I usually use a generic document or webpage type to encode the transcript information. I don't think the zotero model and ui is currently flexible enough to handle this correctly in terms of being able separately represent and link, say, the speec…
  • We need to protect the IP around CSL, which I think presumes it's better to be explicit about the terms of use around the styles. While INAL, I think it would be nice to have a policy on this. Maybe all styles by default have one of the CC license,…
  • Oh, one thing to look at is where the prefix/suffix is configured. It might be you just need to add these to the macro calls.
