The National Library of Medicine has created a set of standards for
publishing online journal articles in hopes of simplifying the process for
publishing, transferring, and archiving scholarly information.
The DTD's identify and encode various elements of an article, like a
quotation, a bibliographic reference, or the start of a paragraph.
"It's a standard model to allow the exchange of journal articles -- a model
that we figure can handle any journal article out there," says Jeff Beck, a
technical- information specialist at the medical library. "Say you have two
groups that want to exchange articles, like one publisher wants to submit
articles to an archive or collector. If they agree that they will both use
this, then the publisher will tag the articles in this format, the archive
will be able to read them."
So far, no other organization has proposed standard formats for electronic
journals, he says. At present, he adds, publishers have been using formats of
their own creation.

Measure Calls for Wider Access to Federally Financed Research
June 26, 2003
By WARREN E. LEARY
A group challenging the power of established scientific journals says
legislation will be introduced to make the results of all federally financed
research available to the public.
The group, the Public Library of Science, which includes scientists, doctors,
researchers and their public supporters, plans to announce legislation on
Thursday that would give taxpayers greater access to scientific data.
