Yes, I understand that now and my apologies for my unwieldy response 
that put the issue in a broader perspective.

If I am not mistaken, I think a major immediate aim that you have is to 
make your journal article metadata Zotero-extractable from your HTML 
pages.  In this case you might want to check out the COinS work 
<http://ocoins.info/>, by some of the same people who did unAPI.  If I 
am not mistaken Zotero eats COinS. The COinS stuff also integrates 
nicely with browser plug-ins to point to OpenURL Resolvers.

cheers
