Hi Lynn,
At 05:19 PM 1/19/2010, you wrote: my organization needs to transform NLM (national library of medicine) xml for our journal articles into xml that conforms with the DOAJ (directory of open access journals) xml schema. we can write such a transform, but before we expend the resources to do so, we would like to know whether someone else has already written one that we could use. No, but unless I'm mistaken the DOAJ format covers just metadata, and isn't terribly complex, so this doesn't look like a very hard transform to write. I think the challenges here are more in controlling the input side (i.e., in the particular ways you are using the NLM metadata structures, which are fairly permissive in certain important respects). But I bet you have that licked. You may already know of the mailing lists run by NCBI, where there will be a higher concentration of NLM users. You could try http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mailman/listinfo/publishing-dtd (linked from the page at http://dtd.nlm.nih.gov/publishing.) Cheers, Wendell
