Hi Scott,

Balisage might have chosen JATS if we'd been only a year or two later making this determination. It would have been my preference.

JATS-Con, of course, uses JATS. Specifically, JATS Authoring, which I
think was an excellent choice.

NCBI staff might say more about that. My expectation is that any issues
for you would arise in the metadata and whether Authoring includes
everything you need out of the box, or required modest extension.
Unless your conference has particular and unusual technical needs, I'd
be surprised if the body of the Authoring tag set doesn't do the trick. I do think you want a tag set as "lean and mean" as you can get (subject to requirements of course), for validation and manageability.


The only good argument I can see against JATS would be if your markup is
being done by users who are more familiar and friendly with a viable
alternative.

Cheers,
Wendell

Am seeking best practices or shared experience on modeling conference
papers with the Journal Publishing Tag Set. Are others using JATS for
conference papers to capture article, conference, and proceedings
details? Any recommendations for or against?

All the conference information we need we can capture in
the<conference>  element within<article-meta>. For proceedings
information, we could use<journal-meta>  for proceedings title,
abbreviation, publisher, publisher -location, isbn and use
existing<article-meta>  tags for proceedings publication date,
volume, volume-series, and any others. For session information we
need custom-meta.


Thanks much, Scott Dineen
