February 11 Open Teleconference JATS - Journal Article Tag Suite

Open Teleconference

Co-chair of the NISO JATS Standing Committee, Tommie Usdin, will join Nettie Lagace in a discussion about the standard and the current activities of the Standing Committee which maintains it. 

The Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS) is an XML format used to describe scientific literature published online. It is a technical standard developed by the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) and approved by the American National Standards Institute with the code Z39.96-2016. The NISO project was a continuation of the work done by NLM/NCBI, and popularized by the NLM's PubMed Central as a de facto standard for archiving and interchange of scientific open-access journals and its contents with XML.

The JATS provides a set of XML elements and attributes for describing the textual and graphical content of journal articles as well as some non-article material such as letters, editorials, and book and product reviews.[1] JATS allows for descriptions of the full article content or just the article header metadata; and allows other kinds of contents, including research and non-research articles, letters, editorials, and book and product reviews.

The call on Monday is free and anyone is welcome to participate. To join, simply dial US: +1 646 558 8656 or +1 669 900 6833 and enter the code: 155 493 528#.
