Hi there lineagekeeper, There will be plenty of opportunities at RootsTech 2013 to rally proposals like this. --GeneJ

Yes, colleengreene, it would be! --GeneJ

@fbennett -- thank you for letting me know. Any other similarly unnoticed fields the come to mind?
-
Hope it's not inappropriate to ask in this thread .. http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/csl-fields/index.html Is there a reason a field "author" is not included in those listed the various item types? http://bit.ly/nXDjPa

@Adam (1) ... that both report and manuscript have a type field has not gone unnoticed. I'll input. (2) ... I'm aso thinking at the catalog or archive level. If someone is going to catalog and digitize death certificates, take the Missouri…

@Adam TY for your earlier comment. (1) I'm surprised there isn't a field for "documentType." (I'm working on common genealogical "documents." Several major groups come to mind, ala, census, vital records, land/deed, burial, church/parish,…

@ AdamSmith, In April, you wrote, "... here's a complete list of all items and their fields with the respective mappings to csl http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/csl-fields/index.html Is there a more up to date list of item types? …
-
Hi roxannebcb ... The project is active now. It may take several phases to normalize the fields for, say, the array of U.S. and international census and different styles of parish registers.

I blogged about the Zotero-Blogger connection. http://bit.ly/lfQ31J

Yes! By golly, that's just perfect. TYTY

Again I spoke too soon. Here are my details. With the revised Blogger.js, Zotero creates the "blog post" item type, but it looks so me as though it's trying to capture the nav bar rather than the page. Here's the page I'm trying to c…

Working!! WORKING!! I deleted the file I had created, then restored the old Blogger.js, then opened it with textedit and replaced the content. Then resaved. It's working now. Thank you!! --GJ
-
Yes, I did replace the old Blogger.js and yes, I did restart the browser. --GJ
-
:( No joy. I'm on a Mac, current OS 10.6.7; accessing via Firefox. There was a blogger.js in the Zotero translators directory, but I created the new file and saved it to that directory. There was no change--it still only crea…

TYTY ... I'll blog about this today so that other genealogists will know. TYTY

Hi Ajlyon: http://mrgenwishlist.blogspot.com/2011/01/hausmann-family-illegitimacy-as-reason.html http://digitalcemeterywalk.blogspot.com/2011/05/life-has-flavor.html Thank you. --GJ

My thinking, too, is to try to get the bibliographical requirements to line up.

@adamsmith Reviewing the Types and Fields, from a historical perspective, I have some question about fields, but more about "item types." I find the item type Artwork, but not Artifacts (Mills has a chapter, "Archives & Artifacts"). …
-
Thanks. For my own purpose, I've written the templates that I use personally. You wrote, "There are hundreds of citation styles already ..." Very aware there are many. The devil is in the details, as genealogy has a need for the det…

@adam, Is there a non-tech presentation of the Zotero item types? Fields? You wrote, "I am relatively certain that that wouldn't happen..." As with my earlier comment, I understood it's more than just showing examples of _Evidence Expl…

@ adamsmith, You wrote, "and looking at these examples they might not be 100% possible, but starting with Chicago Manual of style it would likely be possible to get pretty close." I'm hopeful our team will make good progress. Separately, …

Adam wrote, "I have repeatedly offered in various threads to help write a citation style for genealogists, but no one has ever provided even the most basic information that would allow me to do that." We've discussed Zotero at at _BetterGEDCOM_ (ht…

Hi ajlyon: I haven't seen John's work to know his train of thought. As a general rule, genealogical citations involve a wide range of unpublished, often privately held materials-- it takes more "fields," especially to reference those item…
-
Adam, I'm hoping to learn from you that, yes, "generalizing the data model to allow styles to define additional types and itemField types seems like a natural evolution." It's possible a good sized audience would be interested in seeing a…
-
Hi Adamsmith: Yes. I'm hoping our techs might see merit in working with this particular XML language. As above, I'll keep you posted.
-
Hi Adam: I'm part of an _open_ effort to look at updating the file transfer mechanism for genealogy software. Our effort is called "BetterGEDCOM." We have just started to look at the XML for sources and citations. I've posted about the Zo…

Hi genealogist. I've just installed Zotero. My first entry was about the digital version of an early 20th century work I'd accessed at Archive.org. Do you know if there is an effort to create a Zotero-friendly style that will accommodate…

Mills' Evidence Explained style is tailored for the needs of genealogists, who not only work with published works and governmental record groups, but also with need to reference the vast array of privately held artifacts. How to do we work wit…

Yes! Yes! Yes!
