Summary:
"Data Conversion Laboratory, Inc. (DCL)...has been selected to aid HighWire Press...in an ongoing project to standardize files HighWire hosts online on behalf of scholarly publishers. HighWire’s original platform supported a number of SGML DTDs, including the Keton DTD, the HighWire DTD, and others. After participating in the research that ultimately gave rise to the National Library of Medicine (NLM)’s Journal Archiving and Interchange Tag Suite as an industry standard, HighWire adopted NLM XML as its new encoding model for journal content, while continuing to support other DTDs as well. With DCL’s assistance, HighWire began the process of converting all legacy content originally cast in other DTDs to this new standard....The first 225,000 page portion is scheduled for completion in 2010, the remainder to be delivered in 2011...."
