Journal Archiving and Interchange Tag Set
Introduction
The intent of the Journal Archiving and Interchange Tag Set is to preserve the intellectual content of journals independent of the form in which that content was originally delivered. This Tag Set enables an archive to capture structural and semantic components of existing material without modeling any particular sequence or textual format.
Documentation
Complete documentation for the Tag Set is available in Tag Library. Each version has its own Tag Library that documents the rules and usage for that version. The Tag Library for the most recent release of this Tag Set will always be available at the following URI:
The structure and suggested usage of the Tag Library is described in the How to Use (Read Me First) section of each Tag Library.
Available Schemas
The models and constraints in this Tag Set are encoded in several schema languages:
- DTD,
- RELAX NG (RNG), and
- W3C XML Schema (XSD).
These schemas are, to the extent possible, equivalent, and there is no preference for which is used.
Please see the indiviual Tag Set version for links to that version's schemas.
Getting the files
All of the schema files are available by anonymous FTP:
Each schema is also available at a stable URI. Please see the indiviual Tag Set version for those URIs.
