 ====== Exposing Your Metadata ======
-Whether you are a publisher of a scientific journal, operate a news site, or are a blogger, Zotero users will be eternally grateful if you expose bibliographic metadata on your website.
+Do you operate a website containing resources people might want to save to their Zotero libraries?
-In your decision to expose metadata, it is important to identify the object of interest: this can be the webpage itself (e.g. a page on a newspaper's website showing a article), or the resources described on the webpage (e.g. a page of a library catalog showing bibliographic records).
+Zotero has over 700 [[:translators|translators]] that allow it to save high-quality bibliographic metadata from across the web, but the best translator is no translator at all: by exposing metadata on your site in a format that Zotero already understands, you can ensure that Zotero users can always save accurate bibliographic information and correctly cite the materials on your site.
+When exposing metadata, it's important to identify the object of interest: this can be the webpage itself (e.g., a page on a newspaper's website showing a article) or the resources described on the webpage (e.g., a page of a library catalog showing bibliographic records).
