I started out with the Zotero translators, but they are really messy and not standardised. Our ultimate goal is to make it trivial for non-programmers to define and maintain journal scrapers. That was going to be extremely hard with the Zotero system. We started over by building a generic declarative scraping system. I also aim to get Zotero to eventually adopt our scraper system and collection.
The stuff in that repo is a proof of principle - we will be growing the collection massively before we demo in mid July.
Thanks for the corpus dump, taking a look now.
edit: I'm not suggesting a majority use HighWire, but that we can have far fewer definitions than publishers. If we include Prism and DC along with some obvious sets of CSS class names, that will already get us pretty far.
