Hello everyone,
I was wondering if someone can take a look at the documentation so far? The link is in my previous post but it can also be read here. I am not so sure how the .xml file format may be useful when creating a catalog. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks a lot everyone! |

ProfElm, great start! I read through the doc and would like to send you my comments. Would you please send me an email address where I can send the doc back to you?
Manichean - thank you! I have not heard of Mendeley but it looks great! I will download and investigate. Initial impressions? |

Edit for an update: I just dumped about 10 papers that I collected yesterday into my library. Of those, about half got the metadata wrong, although I had to manually edit just two- the rest had a correct title, which enables one to use Google Scholar lookup.

Debby, that would be excellent!
Please send the revisions to hrios10 at gmail dot com. I wonder how Mendeley gets the metadata straight from a document. I must inquire! |

Debbie, thank you so much! I changed a few things that you recommended and tweaked some minor things.
My main question now is: What should go under the .xml files section? If we can get a way to parse through a documents first few pages for the isbn, that would be epic. I have also added screenshots and completed the .xml section. Is there anything else that should be added? When can this be incorporated into the manual?

scientific articles and xml
Quote:
download DTD xml files from NLM ftp sites daily. Transform them with Saxon to bib files using jatstobib.xslt. Import all (ususaly 15000) into Mendeley which will update the metadata. Export them as one bib file which I import in Zotero. From there export as csv file and load in excel. The excel file can be easily imported into mssql database and process with Visual studio. (Window Forms in C#) I also download books and articles as pdf. Import them into Zotero and update metadata, export as csv file, import with zotero importer plugin into calibre. Create in calibre searchable tags and covers. Creating catalog using the command line as csv and load it in excel (same way to mssql). If you want to know more please contact me. |

I see neither increased bibliographic accuracy, nor time saving in using Zotero. Does your usage of Zotero result in either saving time, or increased bibliographic accuracy of the material? If so, how? |

After all set, export it as csv (not bib), import it into calibre with Zotero importer. After I select all and create covers and tags. Zotero importer is an excellet plug-in, respect for its creator. In regard of books (pdf, epub ets) is a diferrent story. Import them directly into calibre. The ISBN of books is the important book ID, for articles is the DOI importat ID, which you get easily updated in Zotero wit DOI plugin. For me the way after is export books or articles from calibre in csv file which I load in excel, make some fine tunes like column formats to change dates to datem numbers to number etc. There is one problem with the filename path for pdf in calibre. It comes in format like this PDF:c:\books\..., I remove the PDF: or EPUB: part in excel before saving the loaded csv as excel file. In case of different categories of medical books I created a simple VB macro scipt in excel and run it as bat file. I use mostly batch files for calibre on command line; import books into calibre, export as catalog in csv etc. Excel file can be easily then imorted in MSSQL database in Visual Studio. |

* The PDF contains accurate metadata; * The PDF has a DOI printed somewhere within; I suspected that something like that was the case. |
