Hi all,
I am wondering if there is a plan for developing an XML Tool for editing/producing OJS content.
Thank you in advance!
Hi all,

while I can’t speak for the OJS core developers, I think XML editing might be a bit out of scope for OJS, which focuses a lot on presenting journal content, facilitating editorial processes and ensuring visibility of academic content on the web.
There are, however, solutions for web-based XML viewers such as the Lens Viewer, but these are not part of OJS, but separate open source software. By doing a few web searches, you can find other open source software (and non-oss as well) for xml editing.
Hope this helps!
Hi @ojsbsb, Thank you for you answer.
PDF to JATS conversion would be an option too. (http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=2494266.2494271)
Is this in PKP’s roadmap?
Thank you in advance.
Hm, this PDFX paper looks interesting. About the PKP roadmap, let’s ask @asmecher about perspectives for OJS-builtin tools for working with XML or PDF.
Hi @ojsbsb and @Dimitris_Efstathiou,
Actually, the best person to ask about that is @axfelix; he’s doing a lot of work with XML integration/conversion.
Cheers,

Hi folks,
We are in fact working on a new XML conversion stage – this post has details: Article fulltext in XML for PMC - #3 by axfelix
And we’ve also written our own paper about it
We’re also in the process of integrating an in-browser editor based on Substance (the same backend as the Lens Viewer which you linked above) into our XML stack, and should have more details to share soon.
