Description

There are a number of on-web sources of pre-cataloged bibliographic data that, if properly exploited, could significantly limit keystroke requirements for Pleiades users (or AWMC staff). Some of these include:

We could benefit from a tool that scrapes these sources of data and converts them, via regular expressions and other magic, into bibliographic records ready for loading into PleiadesBibliography records (I vote for tei:biblStruct).

Exposing these results, outside of Plone, as rss/atom feeds for wide redistribution would also be a tremendous service to the community.

hcayless has pitched this as a possible semester project to students in his SILS XML class, and has had two respond with positive interest.
