[EP-tech] Citation Style Language (CSL) & EPrints?

[Christian Gutknecht]

Hi all

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to use the Citation Style Language
(http://citationstyles.org/) in connection with EPrints?

According to recently news, there probably will be an Open Source editor
to create own citation styles:

I've thought about this but the problem is there isn't a convenient
processor. Citation rendering in EPrints needs to be quite fast so the
overhead of spawning an external process to render a citation would be
too much for e.g. browse view generation.

I'm open to suggestions to how it might be used, because it would open
up a big selection of official citation styles. Otherwise, an AJAX
extension that allows you to get the current eprint in a given style
would be very useful ...

All the best,
Tim.

There's a javascript implementation (citeproc.js) that I looked at ages ago - but did nothing with.
Would offering it up to the browser be useful?
