The author of org-capture-ref here.

Reading through the code, I can see that you are familiar with metadata
conventions. Do you know good references about what og: metadata is
commonly used? I looked through the official OpenGraph specification,
but popular websites appear to ignore most of the conventions.

Also, org-capture-ref does not really force the user to put BiBTeX into
the capture. Individual metadata fields are available using
org-capture-ref-get-bibtex-field (which extracts data from internal
alist structure). It's just that I mostly had BiBTeX in mind (with
distant goal of supporting export to LaTeX) for my use-cases.

Finally, would you be interested to join efforts on metadata parsing? (I
hope this question does not qualify as "integrate this extension to
everything").

P.S. Some links I collected myself when working on org-capture-ref. They
might also be of interest for you:
