ALPSP Technology Update:
A Standard XML Document Format: The case for the adoption of NLM DTD
The British Dental Association, 64 Wimpole Street, London, W1G 8YS, Thursday
21 September 2006
This meeting will explain what the NLM DTD is all about - and why it is
likely to become the standard for preparing scholarly content for both books
and journals. The speakers will explain its background and development, its
use and application, and the benefits and challenges of adopting this new
standard.
Who should attend: Production Managers and Directors who are considering
adopting this new standard; Senior Publishing Managers who need to be aware
of the implications of NLM DTD for their work processes, and the impact it
will have for their authors and contributors; and suppliers involved in
content provision to the scholarly publishing community.
