XML tagset and DTDs for journal publishing, archiving, and interchange

Robin Cover reports on the recent release by the US National Library of Medicine of an XML tagset and DTDs for journal publishing. To quote:

The intent of this DTD Suite is to 'preserve the intellectual content of journals independent of the form in which that content was originally delivered'. The tags defined here will be used to describe journal articles that originate with many publishers and societies but whose content will be stored in repositories, such as the NLM PubMed Central repository. Therefore, the Suite has been optimized for conversion from a variety of journal source DTDs, with the intent of providing a single format in which publishers can deliver their content to a wide range of archives.
