I think this is an important distinction to make:
One can certainly make the website - the service that holds the document
and enables browsing & searching & listing articles - WACG and/or BS
8878 compliant... however moving down to the hosted articles is a whole
new can of worms.
There are a number of issues to address (some easier than others)
* If you host the content, then you are a "hoster" not a "publisher" -
the distinction is important: as Facebook/Wordpress/etc
* If you modify the original item, are you "archiving" the record, or
taking proactive "ownership" of the record?
* Whilst the regular belief is that 1 record means 1 document, our
experience is that 1 record means multiple files: Yes, there's the
manuscript (either in published form or final accepted form; but there
are often accompanying spreadsheets, images, and sometimes video-clips
too.... should they also be annotated in some manner?
