Use Zotero Translators for enhancing scraper results

Issue #2979 open
Tom Völker created an issue

Since the scrapers are pretty high-maintenance and likely to break due to outside changes, we should think about using the open-source translators/scrapers provided by Zotero for dealing with this.

They provide an easy to set up translation server with a scraper like endpoint returning data in structured form. Apart from providing database lookups for various ID-Types, they can also scrape a plethora of websites, since the community actively contributes to their page translators.

Since the data is already returned in a structured format, it should be manageable to build a parser that allows importing the data into Bibsonomy.
