[AI Summary]: Princeton CDH’s Hao Tan and Rebecca Koeser document their research journey to improve Zotero integration for academic websites. The post compares five metadata approaches (Highwire tags, Schema.org JSON-LD, CoinS, unAPI+MARC, unAPI+Dublin Core), explaining their experiments, trade-offs, and findings. Despite CoinS being an older standard, it proved most effective for correctly exposing item types to Zotero while remaining lightweight and maintainable. The work improved citation exports for both the CDH Blog and Princeton Prosody Archive, enabling one-click saves with complete metadata.
