Read me: convert_tei-to-bibliographic-data	Till Grallert	2021-11-16	orcid.org/0000-0002-5739-8094

This repository contains code to generate a variety of bibliographic metadata formats for <tei:div>s and <tei:biblStruct>s. Everything is built upon <tei:biblStruct> as an intermediate format and XPath functions. The XSLT is split into basic stylesheets for functions (file name: ...-functions.xsl) and stylesheets applying these functions. Note that the functions make use of the oape namespace, which is mapped to xmlns:oape="https://openarabicpe.github.io/ns".

1. Input: TEI XML files¹
2. Generate <tei:biblStruct>
   • convert_tei-to-biblstruct_functions.xsl: provides the necessary function to construct a <tei:biblStruct> for a <tei:div> using information from the TEI file's <sourceDesc> and the <tei:div> itself as oape:bibliography-tei-div-to-biblstruct().
   • convert_tei-to-biblstruct_articles.xsl: applies the conversion to <tei:div type="item">
3. Convert <tei:biblStruct> to:
   1. MODS XML: The conversions utilise XSLT from another repository for calendar conversions. One can decide to link to a local copy or use the following link to include the online version: <xsl:include href="https://tillgrallert.github.io/xslt-calendar-conversion/functions/date-functions.xsl"/>.
      • convert_tei-to-mods_functions.xsl: provides the function oape:bibliography-tei-to-mods() to convert a single <tei:biblStruct> to <mods:mods>
      • convert_tei-to-mods_articles.xsl: chains the functions oape:bibliography-tei-div-to-biblstruct() and oape:bibliography-tei-to-mods() to generate one MODS XML file per <tei:div> as input.
      • convert_tei-to-mods_issues.xsl: chains the functions oape:bibliography-tei-div-to-biblstruct() and oape:bibliography-tei-to-mods() to generate one MODS XML file per TEI XML file as input with <mods:mods> children for each <tei:div>.
   2. BibTeX:
      • convert_tei-to-bibtex_functions.xsl: provides the function oape:bibliography-tei-to-bibtex() to convert a single <tei:biblStruct> to BibTeX
      • convert_tei-to-bibtex_articles.xsl: chains the functions oape:bibliography-tei-div-to-biblstruct() and oape:bibliography-tei-to-bibtex() to generate one BibTeX file (.bib) per <tei:div> as input.
      • convert_tei-to-bibtex_issues.xsl: chains the functions oape:bibliography-tei-div-to-biblstruct() and oape:bibliography-tei-to-bibtex() to generate one BibTeX file (.bib) per TEI XML file as input with one BibTeX child for each <tei:div>.
   3. CSV
   4. YAML: YAML would be of use for generating a static website from periodical editions, where each article is transformed to markdown with its own metadata block written in YAML in order to keep data and metadata together.
      • convert_tei-to-yaml_functions.xsl: provides the function oape:bibliography-tei-to-yaml() to convert a single <tei:biblStruct> to YAML
      • convert_tei-to-yaml_issues.xsl: chains the functions oape:bibliography-tei-div-to-biblstruct() and oape:bibliography-tei-to-yaml() to generate one YAML file (.yml) per TEI XML file as input with one YAML child for each <tei:div>.
   5. Zotero RDF: proprietary RDF and serialised as XML, which allows lossless import into Zotero and moving data between Zotero libraries
      • convert_tei-to-zotero-rdf_functions.xsl: provides the function oape:bibliography-tei-to-zotero-rdf() to convert a single <tei:biblStruct> to <bib:{reference-type}>
      • convert_tei-to-zotero-rdf_articles.xsl: chains the functions oape:bibliography-tei-div-to-biblstruct() and oape:bibliography-tei-to-zotero-rdf() to generate one Zotero RDF file per <tei:div> as input.
      • convert_tei-to-zotero-rdf_issues.xsl: chains the functions oape:bibliography-tei-div-to-biblstruct() and oape:bibliography-tei-to-zotero-rdf() to generate one Zotero RDF file per TEI XML file as input with <bib:{reference-type}> children for each <tei:div>.
   6. TSS XML: to do

to do

• the conversion of name components into plain text strings does not add whitespace between them

<tei:biblStruct>: intermediary / exchange format

• To do:
  • dereference private URI's pointing to authority files instead of relegating this to later conversions

The intermediary/exchange format between all the supported serialisations of bibliographic metadata is a TEI <biblStruct> element.

MODS

The MODS (Metadata Object Description Schema) standard is expressed in XML and maintained by the Network Development and MARC Standards Office of the Library of Congress with input from users. Compared to BibTeX MODS has he advantage of being properly standardised, human and machine readable, and much better suited to include all the needed bibliographic information.

MODS as intermediary format

MODS also serves as the intermediary format for the free bibutils suite of conversions between bibliographic metadata formats (including BibTeX) which is under constant development and released under a GNU/GPL (General Public License). Tei2Mods-issues.xsl and bibutils provide a means to automatically generate a large number of bibliographic formats to suit the reference manager one is working with; e.g.:

• to generate EndNote (refer-format) one only needs the following terminal command: $ xml2end MODS.xml > output_file.end
• to generate BibTex: $ xml2bib MODS.xml > output_file.bib

Compatibility with Zotero

Zotero has solid support for MODS import and export. However, there are a number of caveats one should be aware of:

1. Zotero has a limited number of "Item Types" with different fields (documentation)

   Item Type	Volume	Issue	Place	contributorType: editor
   Journal Article	y	y	n	y
   Magazine Article	y	y	n	n
   Newspaper Article	n	n	y	n

   • Changing the "Item Type" deletes fields and their contents
     • there is the option to use the "extra" field for piping missing information to CSL output but this seems to be a very inellegant work-around to me.
   • Bibliographic data of <genre authority="local">journal</genre><genre authority="marcgt">journal</genre> is mapped to "Journal Article" and the journal title will end up as article title with the journal title empty.

2. Zotero does not support multi-language MODS. If information is present in more than one language, i.e. <title xml:lang="ar">الجنان</title><title xml:lang="ar-Latn-x-ijmes">al-Jinān</title>, Zotero will always pick the first entry.

3. Zotero does not support non-Gregorian calendars or date ranges.

BibTeX

BibTeX is a plain text format which has been around for more than 30 years and which is widely supported by reference managers. Thus it seems to be a safe bet to preserve and exchange minimal bibliographic data.

There are, however, a number of problems with the format:

• The format and thus the tools implementing it aren't really strict.
• The format description is fairly short and since development of BibTeX stalled between 1988 and 2010, it is most definitely not the most current or detailed when it comes to bibliographic metadata descriptions.²
• Only basic information can be included:
  • information on publication dates is commonly limited to year and month only
  • periodicals are not perceived as having different editions or print-runs
  • non-Gregorian calendars cannot be added.

example

@ARTICLE{oclc_4770057679-i_14-div_6.d1e1249, 
author = {ارسلان, شكيب}, 
editor = {كرد علي, محمد}, 
title = {حكم وخواطر}, 
journal = {المقتبس: مجلة أدبية علمية اجتماعية تصدر بالقاهرة في غرة كل شهر عربي}, 
volume = {2}, 
number = {2}, 
pages = {78-82}, 
publisher = {مطبعة الظاهر}, 
publisher = {المطبعة العمومية}, 
address = {القاهرة}, 
language = {ar}, 
day = {16}, 
month = {3}, 
year = {1907},

annote = {digital TEI edition, 2021}, 
}

YAML

A basic conversion to YAML was built by mapping the <tei:biblStruct> input to fields using this example, which basically mirrors CSL JSON and should work with Pandoc using the pandoc-citeproc filter.

example

- id: 'oclc_4770057679-i_14-div_6.d1e1249'

Zotero RDF

• full conversion pipelines have been implemented
• In order to generate stable cite keys, we make use of Better BibTeX and write our identifiers to the 'Citation Key: ' line in the extra field. Note that this line is deleted when dragging and dropping references between libraries or groups. Therefore, we also added a 'BibTeX: ' line with the same content to the extra field

Zotero JSON: not implemented

The proprietary JSON to directly communicate with the Zotero database / servers through an API has a number of advantages:

• direct writing access to all fields

• full text can be written to notes to provide a simple full-text search

• procedure

  • It seems the easiest to query Zotero through the API
  • translate the resulting JSON with json-to-xml() and
  • reverse engineer the resulting XML,
  • which will then be translated to JSON using xml-to-json()

• oXygen has a built-in toolchain: JSON to XML and XML to JSON

Sente XML

My primary interest is in moving reference data from Sente to Zotero. For this, we need a custom transformation from Sente XML to something Zotero can import. While I am most familiar with MODS, it seems that CSL JSON is the more complete format (quite a few fields are missing from the MODS im- and export).

Footnotes

1. Preferably validating against the OpenArabicPE schema. All conversion functions work with any <tei:div> as input but concrete implementation of conversions is dependent on @type attribute values. ↩

2. Wikipedia has a better description than the official website. ↩
