XML is important because it…

• drives applications producing AGU pubs (HTML, PDF, print)• allows integration of all AGU pubs for search/retrieval• is the source for AGU products & services:

ToC, abstract pages, ‘cited by’ & linked refs, sp. sec. lists & CDs, RSS,cross-journal coll’s, CrossRef/A&I metadata deposits, indices, etc.

• can be repurposed for various media and devices• serves as the copy of record: preserves AGU pubs’ content

for posterity in internal and external archives – in a standard, non-proprietary, well-documented format

Why new Tag Set?

• Scope: multiple genres of peer reviewed pubs– Journal (incl. newspaper) article– Book chapter– Book

• New metadata– Funding and sponsors– Country codes (more accurate statistics)– Mimetype/subtype for components

Why new Tag Set? (cont’d)• New features– Accessibility compliance (Rehabilitation Act section 508)– MathML (functional math)– “Hooks” for semantic indexing– Enhanced reference models; compatibility with

CrossRef’s extended content types (books, conf. papers, reports, dissertations, patents, etc.)

– Maintainability: design informed by JATS (‘NLM DTD’)

Why an AGU Tag Set?– Why not, e.g., EPUB 3 or NLM 3.0 or DocBook 5.0?– AGU Tag Set design reflects AGU requirements:• all doc. types (books, Eos, Space Weather non-technical)• AGU-specific metadata (subsets, sp. sections) & references• value-added features (book index, supplemental mat’l)

– A standard DTD is only a set of tags; customization is always needed (even NCBI customizes its own tag set!)

– Nominal conformance to standard does not guarantee control over data. Specification & validation are needed

XML workflow: journal article

XML workflow: chapter and book

XML workflow: Eos article

Schematron Validator v2.0

• Multiple genres (document types)– Journal (incl. newspaper) article– Book chapter– Book

• Different lifecycle phases– Papers in press (journal article)– Initial validation (journal article, book chapter)– Final validation (all genres)

Schematron Validator v2.0 (cont’d)

• 9 top-level Schematrons, 27 modules• 350+ requirements checked• Works best in oXygen (context-sensitive), can

be compiled and integrated (PiP)• Can perform verifications against MDDB• Tag Set and Tag Library are public, Schematron

and its documentation are restricted

Schematron Validator v2.0 (cont’d)

• Schematron modules• Schematron grid• Schematron docs

Proofreader’s checklists• Journals– Journal article: first round proof– Journal article: final round proof

• Books– Book chapter: first round proof– Book chapter: final round proof– Whole volume proof

• Eos Article• Space Weather non-technical

Production Assistant (PASS) v2.0

• Identifies articles to be promoted (pub date - 2) • Checks integrity : non-textual components

present, sup. mat. files at the FTP site, etc.• Copies all article files to the article directory• Copies XML files to the MDDB loading directory• Keeps track of promoted articles• Currently works only with journal articles (-Eos)

MDDB Loader

• Extraction– Extracts “heads & tails” (derives bib. and ref. XML)– Preserves chunks of original XML – self-citation,

runheads, references – used in dynamic web pages– Works with all genres: articles, chapters, books

• Insertion– Populates MDDB with bib. and ref. metadata– Enforces rules: dup. article Nos, chapter w/o book

EASI search (MarkLogic)

• Transparently combine results from legacy, current, and new XML

• New UI• Integration of various genres into search

options and search results

Who is affected?

• Editorial (Validator, oXygen, checklists)• Journal prod. (Validator, oXygen, PASS, Loader)• Book, Eos & SW n/t prod. (Validator, oXygen,

Loader, checklists, templates)• Vendors (XML conv., HTML transf., PDF comp.)• Secondary Services (MarkLogic: map’g, search)• EPubs (Tag Set, Validator, oXygen, PASS, Loader)
