         * **Bibliontology/Dublin-Core-like/Zotero RDF**. [[http://bibliontology.com/|Bibliontology RDF]] can store any information that Zotero can save. Dublin Core is standardized and extremely common, but is limited in its expressive abilities. The legacy Zotero RDF format is also supported.

These formats are more limited in their ability to describe metadata, but have good code library support and they are simpler to generate.

 ===== Force Zotero to refresh metadata =====

 Websites for which metadata changes without a page reload should fire a ZoteroItemUpdated event to tell Zotero to re-detect metadata on the page. This is supported in Zotero 3.0 and later.

 ===== Zotero Web Translators =====
 Exposing bibliographic metadata through an open standard is very powerful (and also benefits non-Zotero users!). However, if you have little control over the way your website is built, you may have to [[dev/translators|create a Zotero web translator]] for Zotero-compatibility. Translators have some downsides: apart from the fact that they are a Zotero-specific solution, translators can break easily if the structure of the targeted website changes.
