Excite

Provides a simple Ruby API for parsing citations from plain text strings or HTML.

  require 'excite'

  Excite.parse_string("Wilcox, Rhonda V. 1991. Shifting roles and synthetic women in Star trek: The next generation. Studies in Popular Culture 13 (June): 53-65.")

  Excite.parse_html("<span>Devine, PG, & Sherman, SJ</span><span>(1992)</span><strong>Intuitive versus rational judgment and the role of stereotyping in the human condition: Kirk or Spock?</strong><em>Psychological Inquiry</em><span>3(2), 153-159</span>")

Derived from FreeCite, minus Rails and all UI elements. The most up-to-date fork of FreeCite of which I am aware is rsinger's. FreeCite in turn is inspired by ParsCit.

The main changes are:

• No UI, just a gem;
• New model for parsing HTML;
• Tokenization and part-of-speech features from EngTagger.

Credit is due to the authors of all the linked projects, as well as Laura Durkay who marked up the HTML training data.
