Today the National Library of Medicine announced a freely available standard content model for the electronic archiving and publishing of journal articles. Quoting David Lipman, Director of the NCBI: The electronic files of online journal articles "are created to meet the needs of the Internet --usually without much thought given to long-term archiving of the content. Today we release two Document Type Definitions (DTDs) that will simplify journal publishing and increase the accuracy of the archiving and exchange of scholarly journal articles."

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.
