Hi Leonie,
I share your pain with this problem - we also have an export mechanism for
EndNote, based on parsing the citation field. It works, but without the
consistency in the metadata it's impossible to contribute back to the
community [and expect it to be reliable].
More recently, we have started implementing a PRISM metadata schema (
http://www.prismstandard.org/) for the discrete metadata fields. PRISM
specifies discrete fields for this metadata, plus much more information that
publishers have/are interested in, which would naturally support reliable
export mechanisms.
As this standard has already been adopted by most of the major publishers,
they are already in a position to provide that metadata for automated
deposit / ingest (where they are prepared to support such services), if the
repository community was to agree to also support the standard.
I look forward to having further discussions about this.
Regards,
G
