Re: how to use unapi for bibtex files

karne...@gmail.com (Richard Karnesky) — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 15:06:55 UT

You and I have talked in the Zotero forums on this issue.

Some programming will be needed, as you will have to:
* attach identifiers to your records (depending on your input, you
might get by with the BibTeX keys)
* use an auto-discovery link to your unAPI service
* make an unAPI service that actually handles the request.

how to use unapi for bibtex files

michael.jer...@dartmouth.edu (Michael Jermyn) — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 13:53:36 UT

I have a website with bibtex files (that get converted to html via
php). I would like to use unAPI so that a program like zotero can get
the info from my site. Is there an easy way to do this that doesn't
involve reprogramming my php parser? Like a way to get the unAPI info
straight from the bibtex files?

This isn't entirely true. Z39.88 could, theoretically, be used for
contextual services for anything, not just bibliographic resources.
The reality is that the overwhelming majority of current
implementations, however, are limited to bibliographic resources (and
all of the currently registered metadata formats and community

OK, googling, I found this:
<[link])>
So:
a) the ContextObject is in fact the same as what BIBO (and DC) covers.
b) OpenURL adds a "location of resolver to parse the metadata and
present contextual services based on said metadata"
So my skepticism is that I have a hard time understanding the point of

Hi:

Funny you should just have asked that Bruce. I was just looking for (and
just found) an early OWL spec for ContextObject which I was noodling with
back in '03. (Tempus fugit.)

I haven't reviewed this at all, so be kind. Was just an early attempt to
model CO with OWL. Oh, I notice it uses the earlier homegrown identifiers

Yes. My publications are encoded in BIBO RDFa over at my site if
you're curious (though it probably needs a little work):

I confess to being entirely skeptical about OpenURL, but it may be
that I just don't understand it. What would a ContextObject look like
in the context of idiomatic RDF/RDFa/BIBO/DC?

open...@gmail.com (Eric Hellman) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 15:51:54 UT

Yes, it would seem that BIBO is in the same space; I need to look at
it more to see what the fit is. I wonder if Bruce is still on this list.

I think you would need both the ContextObject and the metadata formats.

This seems like it falls completely into the same domain as BIBO:

When you say "RDF binding for OpenURL" you mean for the
"ContextObject" bits of OpenURL (the ctx meta metadata, rft meta
metadata, svc meta metadata, etc)? Or would this include making RDF
bindings for the SAP1/2-specific metadata formats?

RDFa OpenURL

open...@gmail.com (Eric) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:39:47 UT

In a recent session at the Semantic Technology Conference in San Jose,
People from google indicated that they would be interested to pick up
article citation information from web pages if it was incoded in RDFa.
Since there is no RDF binding for OpenURL, and since it would be
straightforward to produce one, I wonder if anyone is interested in

One Data Format Identifier (and Registry) to Rule Them All

Hello everybody. I apologize for the crossposting, but this is an
area that could (potentially) affect every one of these groups. I
realize that not everybody will be able to respond to all lists,
but...
First of all, some back story (Code4Lib subscribers can probably skip ahead):
Jangle [1] requires URIs to explicitly declare the format of the data

It appears to be back. Are you still seeing this?

OCLC NJ hosts the COinS Generator, so my guess is that something broke
in an upgrade somewhere up the chain.

Anyone know why?

UnAPI formats list

rossfsin...@gmail.com (Ross Singer) — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 14:47:58 UT

Hey everybody.
I'm trying to write a little UnAPI adapter for Jangle, but I'm a
little hung up on the part of the spec that defines which formats are
available by the service (the "no arguments passed" part). The spec
reads:
"Provide a list of object formats which should be supported for all
objects available through the unAPI service."
