Hi all,

This isn't necessarily related to TEI per se (though there is no 
reason I couldn't use TEI as an intermediate format).  I'm 
looking into various ways to get printed & OCR'd or word document 
lists of bibliographic items into a more structured forms.  For 
example a plain text list of items into BibTeX format to then 
import into a system like Zotero or Endnote. The bibliographies 
in question have _not_ been created with any reference-manager 
software.

There are a number of tools suggested at 
https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/importing_formatted_bibliographies 
but some of these are only web-based. (Though a couple like 
FreeCite at Brown have an API.)  I definitely would prefer 
something that was scriptable and even better if there is already 
some nice commandline script for me to call per citation or long 
list of newline separated citations.

I don't mind if it goes direct to some popular bibliographic 
interchange format like BibTeX, or if it has another structured 
format (XML, TEI, csv, etc.) as an intermediary.

I figured some of you have probably done this kind of thing 
and/or have recommendations of existing tools that do this well.

-James
