Here's the summary he provided: <<The talk provides a very brief introduction to Marielle Volz's Citoid, the tool providing Wikipedia's new automated citations.I then focus on the technology underlying Citoid, Zotero translators, and discuss how interested users/developers can help improve that functionality to better serve the Wikipedia community.>>
