XML Publishing Roadmap
The PKP, in conjunction with RIT, and UNB ETC, will be extending our publishing support to include XML workflows. The goal is to have our software ingest XML (initially NLM Journal Publishing Tag Set Version 2.3 with Docbook, TEI and Erudit to follow) and render/display HTML and PDF.
Goals
- Support Science (NLM) and SSH (Erudit, Docbook, TEI) publishing formats
- Produce both HTML and PDF rendering
- Integrate, where appropriate, with: L8X (preview), OJS, and OMP
Roadmap
Phase 1
- Bring XML galleys plugin up to date wrt. localization changes in OJS 2.x
- Modify plugin to generate galleys from an uploaded "layout" file rather than "galley" file
- Move XSL code from the plugin into the PKP WAL
- Determine work required to refactor Molecular Vision XSL2.0 to XSL1.0
- Examine and refactor/merge XSL files for HTML generation from Monash, Open Medicine, Molecular Vision
Phase 2
- Examine and refactor XSL files for PDF generation from Molecular Vision
- Improvements to plugin/XSL classes for supporting XSL2.0 via Saxon
Phase 3
- Extend the current xmlGalleys plugin (which already supports NLM) to support Docbook and TEI based on XSL from Monash, UNB, UVic
Phase 4
- Extend/parameterize XSLs for HTML and PDF to produce customizable/SSH layout in addition to STM layout
Documentation
- Notes on Monash contribution
- Proposed XML rendering workflow: (TODO Image Upload)
Feature List
Feature list broken down by level of difficulty
| Procedural Step | Feature | Simple | Difficult |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Various XML to NLM | Docbook->NLM transformation | Requires proper XSL files - have been provided by Monash |
To support Docbook 5 we would have to substantially rework (or recreate) the files provided by Monash |
| TEI->NLM transformation | Requires proper XSL files - will be provided by UVic (will presumably handle Martin's TEIJournal modification; be back-portable to TEI P5) |
||
| Erudit->NLM transformation | Requires proper XSL files - possibly provided by UNB? |
||
| 2. NLM to HTML/PDF galleys | NLM->HTML transformation | Requires proper XSLT 1.0 files - Monash has provided XSLT 1.0 files - Current plugin already using XSLT 1.0 files based on NLM's tools |
XSLT 2.0 transformation
- UVic would prefer to work with XSLT 2.0 - Molecular Vision has provided XSLT 2.0 files - XSLT 2.0 would require using Java to use a 2.0-compatible XSLT engine (ie. Saxon) |
| XML->XSL:FO->PDF | Not possible | Requires Java - Sample XSLT 1.0 in current plugin |
