BITS was designed to meet the needs of publishers who are using JATS for journal articles and want to process their books in similar XML. The JATS (Journal Archiving Tag Suite) has been widely adopted for the XML encoding and interchange of journal articles, and has recently become an ANSI/NISO Standard (ANSI/NISO Z39.96-2012). The JATS models work well for much of the body of books, but there are significant differences between journal articles and books, which the new BITS model accommodates. - XML Basics http://www.mulberrytech.com/services/classes/c-basics-xml.html Intended for people who have an interest in textual documents, such as writers, editors, and programmers with HTML or typesetting experience, this class focuses on use of XML with text. By the end of the class, participants will have created a valid XML document, corrected well-formedness and validity errors, written a DTD, and will understand the differences between XML DTDs, the W3C XML Schema, and RELAX NG (although none of the schema languages are covered in depth). - Introduction to Schematron http://www.mulberrytech.com/services/classes/c-schematron-intro.html Schematron is a tool for finding things out about XML documents. It is used to check things that may be valid but that are often incorrect and to report on the status of a document or document collection. Participants learn to use Schematron to identify both the presence and absence of data and patterns, and are introduced to some of the more complex things one can write with Schematron. In addition, participants learn enough XPath to get started with Schematron. - XSLT/XPath Basics http://www.mulberrytech.com/services/classes/c-intro-xslt.html XSLT, the non-procedural language for transforming XML into other data formats, and XPath, its companion specification for identifying parts of XML documents, are widely used to convert XML data into other data formats, including: display forms such as HTML, database load formats, and XML according to other DTDs. This class teaches the principles and practice of XSLT/XPath. Centered around the abstract data model of XML, students learn to create and prioritize templates; use expressions, patterns, and functions to select nodes and create output; and create elements, attributes, processing instructions, and comments in their output. - Introduction to XSL-FO http://www.mulberrytech.com/services/classes/c-intro-xslfo.html XSL-FO (Extensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects) is a non-procedural language for formatting XML documents for page presentation. This course introduces the principles and practice of using formatting objects. Participants learn how to put content into page regions and format it, and how to define page regions such as headers, footers, and margins. We discuss XSL-FOs relationship to XSLT as participants process XML through XSLT first to XSL-FO and then from XSL-FO to pages. ====================================================================== B.
