As far as I remember, sciplore is not only extracting metadata embedded
in th pdf, but also from the text - they submit it to a server which
uses the academic article and compares it to layouts from different
publishers and uses those to extract bibliographic information from the
text. If that is what you want, then it might be considerably more
difficult then just extracting embedded metadata.
