Howdy,

I've just stumbled across Zotero and have been reading about how folks
are working to integrate it with org-mode, but from what I've read so
far, all of the work has been on the citation end.

Has anybody pursued creating Zotero-friendly headers/metadata in HTML
exports?  I use org-mode to manage a few websites and it would be handy
to have the HTML snippets generated automatically.  It looks like both
COinS[1] and Dublin Core are fairly straightforward.

I'm looking forward to hearing if anybody has done anything with this
yet.

Thanks,

Erik

Hi,

Does Erik Hetzner's zotero-plain work for you?

If so, I'd try this experiment: set zotero-default-bibliography-style 
to "COinS". Then insert a citation in Org using zotero-plain. In the 
link description, instead of a nicely formatted bibliographic 
reference, I imagine you should get the COinS data.

If that works, zotero-plain could be very easily extended with a 
function to insert COinS data for all items in zotero links, and it 
could be run as a hook on HTML export.

It hasn't worked for me lately, so I can't try the experiment myself.

Yours,
Christian

I thought zotero-plain was used to add citations.  What I'm trying to do
is use org-mode to export HTML files with Zotero-friendly headers that
the Zotero plugin will pick-up on in the browser.

I can make the COinS <span> snippets myself using the tool available on
the COinS website, but it would be handy if org-mode could do that
automatically using the org header data that already exists.

Hi Erik,

There has been some discussion recently of export to ODT with
citations. Jambunathan K has outlined a way of doing this using a
binary added to zotero-plain, zotcite. This might be repurposed for an
HTML export.

best, Erik

Hi,

Then I misunderstood you, sorry about the noise (to both Eriks, A. and 
H.). I thought you meant including Zotero-readable metadata for each 
citation in the Org document.

Do I then understand correctly that what you want to do is simply to 
generate one COinS snippet with metadata about the document itself 
(author, title, etc.)?

Yours,
Christian

No problem.  I tried to be clear, but obviously I wasn't.  :)

Yes, though it doesn't need to be only COinS.  Zotero supports a number
of different formats, but COinS looks like it may be the easiest and the
most concise.

You're aware that bibliographies exported as HTML from Zotero already 
contain COinS?

Hi, Adam Smith,

You're repeating my misunderstanding -- that's not what he's looking 
for, see the thread above.

Hi,

Does Org document header data include more than author, title, date, 
description and keywords. So I'd be inclined to go with Dublin Core 
for this, and just twin the ordinary META tags (which Zotero doesn't 
bother with, probably wisely) with DC equivalents.

Doing it as below, with a hook at the end of html export, is more than 
a little clumsy, but it will do for testing purposes. If people think 
it's a good idea to do this in HTML exports on a permanent basis, a 
non-clumsy version could be patched into org-export-as-html.

#+begin_src elisp
   (defun org-export-with-dc ()
    "Add Dublin Core metadata from Org document headers to exported
   HTML. Comma-separated keywords and multiple authors separated
   with ` and ' will be correctly imported into Zotero. Note: For
   testing purposes only. It is only called as a hook from
   org-export-as-html, where it gets TITLE, DATE, AUTHOR,
   DESCRIPTION, and KEYWORDS values."
    (let ((creators (split-string author " and "))
          (subjects (split-string keywords ", ?"))
          fdate)
      (when (string-match "[0-9]+-[0-9]+-[0-9]+" date)
        (setq fdate (match-string 0 date)))
      (goto-char (point-min))
      (when (re-search-forward "</head>")
        (goto-char (match-beginning 0))
        (while creators
          (insert
           (format "<meta name=\"DC.Creator\" content=\"%s\"/>\n"
                   (car creators)))
          (setq creators (cdr creators)))
        (insert
         (format
          "<meta name=\"DC.Title\" content=\"%s\"/>
   <meta name=\"DC.Date\" content=\"%s\"/>
   <meta name=\"DC.Description\" content=\"%s\"/>\n"
          title fdate description))
        (while subjects
          (insert
           (format "<meta name=\"DC.Subject\" content=\"%s\"/>\n"
                   (car subjects)))
          (setq subjects (cdr subjects))))))


   (add-hook 'org-export-html-final-hook 'org-export-with-dc)
#+end_src

Yours,
Christian

I haven't played around with the Dublin Core tags yet, but I'll give
this a try and see how it works.

Thanks, that looks like a good start!
