I am a novic when it comes to XML and how to correctly import past issues of our journal. Right now the data is in an Access database and I am hoping to export into XML and then import this file via the Plug-In.
I have reviewed the information at doc/IMPORTEXPORT and that was somewhat helpful. I have also reviewed some previous posts to this forum.
viewtopic.php?t=731
I am still left with these questions:
1) Where is the OJS 2.1 version of the XML definition file?
2) How will I use these definition files to make other programs (e.g. Access) export in the correct manner.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Kram,
It's unlikely you'll ever get Access to export in the format you want; you may be able to write an XSL stylesheet to convert from the Access format to the OJS format, but that would take quite a bit of technical know-how. Most users either write the XML manually or write a quick Perl script (or equivalent) to generate the proper output from another system.
The DTD for the import tool is available in the OJS package at plugins/importexport/native/native.dtd.
