Embed citation metadata for harvesting with Zotero #3563

I used the "Save to Zotero" browser plugin to save a Debates in DH chapter to my Zotero library and got an unhelpful and inaccurate citation that describes the chapter as a web page, with the webpage title, no author, no book title, generic abstract, etc.

There are several methods for adding metadata to a page so Zotero can harvest an accurate citation; the easiest is probably using html meta tags. On the document I was looking at, I see you already have other meta tags for social preview, so I would hope this is something you could easily generate. The other methods (COinS and unAPI) are not much harder; if you already have existing metadata records that you can serve out in a standard format, I recommend using unAPI.

For details, see the section on open standards for embedding metadata in the Zotero "exposing metadata" documentation

This would also solve #3421!
