More on the NLM standardized DTD's....Scott Carlson describes the initiative in the June 12 Chronicle of Higher Education. Excerpt: "By adopting [the NLM] formats, scholars, librarians, and journal publishers could more easily transfer the files to different types of archives, or recreate the articles in new journals. The library's new formats are based in XML, a Web-programming language....The [NLM] formats are free for public use, although nothing compels publishers to use them." For more details, see the NLM/NCBI site, Archiving and Interchange DTD.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
