This bank holiday, I wanted to spend some time playing around with Zotero’s automatic ingest of open access books. There are some problems with this. For recap, Zotero offers users a way easily to ingest items using built-in metadata on a page. It supports Dublin Core, various RDF implementations, and COinS. Here’s the problem, though: if you want automatic lookup by ISBN, you have to use the COinS translator/provide COinS metadata.
