How to automatically turn BibTex citation into something parseable by Zotero?

Question

I have a citation system which publishes users notes to a wiki (Researchr). Programmatically, I have access to the full BibTeX record of each entry, and I also display this on the individual pages (for example - click on BibTeX). This is in the interest of making it easy for users of other citation manager to automatically import the citation of a paper that interests them. I would also like other citation managers, especially Zotero, to be able to automatically detect and import a citation.

Zotero lists a number of ways of exposing metadata that it will understand, including meta tags with RDF, COiNS, Dublin Core and unAPI. Is there a Ruby library for converting BibTeX to any of these standards automatically - or a Javascript library? I could probably create something, but if something existed, it would be far more robust (BibTeX has so many publication types and fields etc).

Answer 1

There's a BibTeX2RDF convertor available here, might be what you're after.
