[Asis-standards] [NISO z39_96_approve] Groups - Ballot reminder: "NISO Z39.96-201x, JATS: Journal Article Tag Suite"

[Mark Needleman]

Folks

i think i may have forgotten to send out this - ive attached the 
proposed standard to this note. its been a Draft Standard for Trial use 
for awhile and is now up for a vote

Sorry about the short notice  but I need comments and a recommendation 
by July 11


I would recommend a YES vote since its been in use for awhile

But I am a little troubled by the interoperability implications of this 
statement in the standard:

  The Tag Suite has been designed to be extensible. Any of the tag sets 
may be extended or restricted to meet the
  needs of a given project. Also, new tag sets can be built from the 
elements and attributes in the Tag Suite and should
be considered conforming to the standard.

and feel that it might be worth commenting on

Thoughts?

mark

*Ballot Title*: NISO Z39.96-201x, JATS: Journal Article Tag Suite
<http://www.niso.org/apps/org/workgroup/z39_96_approve/ballot.php?id=395>
------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Question*
Do you approve this new standard (NISO Z39.96, JATS) for publication as
an American National Standard?

*Description*
You are receiving this ballot because you elected to join this Voting
Pool. All organizations in this voting pool are required to vote; one
vote is allowed per organization.



This voting pool is to approve the publication of the standard NISO
Z39.96-201x, JATS: Journal Article Tag Suite, as an American National
Standard.



The purpose of the NISO Journal Article Tag Suite (NISO JATS) standard
is to define a suite of XML elements and attributes that describes the
content and metadata of journal articles—including research and
non-research articles, letters, editorials, book and product
reviews—with the intent of providing a common format in which publishers
and archives can exchange journal content. This standard is a revision
of version 3.0 of the National Library of Medicine Archiving and
Interchange Tag Suite, commonly referred to as the NLM DTDs.



The proposed standard is available in both PDF and HTML format from a
link on the ballot webpage and in the announcement e-mail. (The HTML
link is marked as 1.0, the version number that will be assigned to the
NISO standard for JATS.) Note that this is a very long standard, largely
made up of element definitions. You may find the HTML version easier to
review.



Your voting options are:

Yes -- approve for publication as an American National Standard

No -- do not approve for publication

Abstain from voting



Comments are required for No and Abstain votes.



If this standard is approved by the NISO Voting Pool, it will require
final approval from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
before its final publication.

*Closing Date*: Sunday, 15 July 2012 @ 11:59 pm ET
