Resources
Inera is pleased to share a variety of resources that we believe are
especially helpful to publishers with electronic workflow issues. Below
you will find links to presentations, studies, and reports that have been
developed by Inera. In addition, we have provided generally useful links
to learn more about XML in relation to scientific, technical, and medical
(STM) publishing.
Public DTDs and Schemas Developed by Inera
The NLM Journal Archiving and Interchange DTD Suite,
co-authored by Inera Inc., Mulberry Technologies, and NCBI, has
has been the de facto standard full-text DTD for scholarly
publishing since its release in 2003. In April of 2006, it was adopted
as the archiving standard for electronic content by
the
British Library and the Library of Congress. Please visit our
NLM DTD Resources page to learn

The team at Inera refers to these resources on a regular basis. For your convenience, we have provided links to some information that we feel is
especially helpful.

DocBook and CALS Tables, are especially useful.
NISO,

accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), identifies,
develops, maintains, and publishes technical standards to manage information
in our changing and ever-more digital environment. NISO standards apply both
traditional and new technologies to the full range of information-related
needs, including retrieval, re-purposing, storage, metadata, and preservation.
XML.COM,
sponsered by O'Reilly, has a weekly newsletter covering a wide range of XML issues.
