Re: [jats-list] Seeking Advice on BITS Converters and Online Readers for JATS and BITS Formats

Hello Piotr and JATS List,

It's not designed as a JATS or BITS reader but it's an STS reader, a little
improved since being announced on the STS List a few months back, and
'friendly enough' to other formats in the NISO JATS family:

https://pages.nist.gov/xslt-blender/sts-viewer/

Focused on a working subset (application profile) of NISO STS, it can now
handle JATS and BITS as well to some extent.

This project is on the JATS-Con program for presentation in June - although it
is meant more as a demonstration than a service, so not everyone's hot
beverage  -- still, some may enjoy, and there is indeed a model for extension
and reuse, as it is open source. Apart from the adopt-a-pet aspect, Its
biggest limitation is probably that as an XSLT 1.0 application there is a
fairly straitened 'box' of useful functionality it can't easily get out of -
this also perhaps being a good thing ... particularly as it is intended to be
supplementary to, not a replacement for, more 'stringent' validation and
production processes.

Regards, Wendell

Dear Denis,
Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, no responses so far. I'm exploring
different options but haven't made enough progress to share it yet. I'll be
happy to do it once I have something more tangible.

Regards,
PKD

Dear Piotr,

have you ever received an answer to your question?

I don't know how the display BITS with the eLifeLens viewer. But I guess,
you're not the only person interested in such a thing. Have you made any
progress in the meantime?

Best,
Denis

Betreff: [jats-list] Seeking Advice on BITS Converters and Online Readers for
JATS and BITS Formats

Dear all,
I have two questions concerning the BITS format, and I hope that someone here
would be able to shed some light on the topic. I am a member of the team
working with WHO. One of the things we developed was an online reader based on
eLifeLens open-source application. Our online reader can read and display JATS
files.

Our goal is to enable the reader to read and display BITS files as well,
allowing users to read books online.

Question 1: Are there existing BITS converters for eLifeLens?
eLifeLens is an extendable application. It uses a so-called "converter" to
read a specific file type. eLifeLens comes with an in-built converter for
JATS, but I could not find a converter for BITS. It would be a waste of time
and resources to develop it from scratch if someone has already done this job.
Any ideas?


Question 2: Are there existing readers that can read both JATS & BITS?
If I cannot make eLifeLens understand BITS easily (ideally by re-using an
existing converter), one option would be to replace the online reader. I
noticed that NCBI seem to have a reader capable of displaying both journals
and books. Perhaps their reader is what I am looking for? Could anyone here
advise by first confirming my observation (that they can indeed display both
JATS and BITS) and second by elaborating a bit on their reader and its
potential for reuse?


Many thanks in advance for your help.
