ALPSP Technology Update
Increase usage and submissions with XML:
an overview of what's new in XML and related standards
16 September 2004

Chair: Francis Cave, EDItEUR
We have all lived with XML - and before that with SGML - for so long that it is tempting to assume that this is a mature technology that is not going to do anything really new in the future. Tempting, but wrong. There are still many new applications for XML that have yet to be fully exploited and many more that no-one has yet dreamt of. The technology is proving highly adaptable to the new demands of the wired (and wireless) broadband world and some of the many developments in the pipe-line will inevitably have an impact upon scholarly publishers.
Some XML developments have already been covered recently in this series of Technology Updates. Initially aimed at book publishers, ONIX for Serials is just one of a number of XML applications of relevance to scholarly publishers. XML is finding new applications in all corners of the scholarly publishing business, from manuscript submission and peer review at one end through to the support of a variety of online delivery and trading models at the other end.
Rather than provide a superficial coverage of a potentially large number of topics, this event will concentrate upon two areas of current XML application development of direct relevance to scholarly publishers, as well as providing the perspective of a major scholarly publisher on the growing applicability of XML in their business. There will also be a quick tour of other interesting XML developments.
