Good afternoon JATS brethren. I hope those of you along the Eastern seaboard
are enjoying a relaxing snow day today!

For many years, much of our publication data was exported to and stored in NLM
Book DTD 2.1 (including journal articles).  In the past 6 months, with the
help of some great vendors (Hi Bruce and Chandi!) and with a few committed
staff members, we have begun producing all of our book content in BITS 1.0.
The long-term goal is to have all of our data standardized in one format,
whether it be BITS or JATS.  From my own research, I haven't seen any evidence
that someone has written, or even tried to write, a conversion script from NLM
Book DTD 2.1 to JATS.  I have seen NLM Journal DTD 2.3 to JATS 1.0 scripts,
but nothing for a version older than 2.3.

Is anyone aware of anyone doing anything like that?  Is it even possible to
automate the conversion of XML from NLM DTD v. 2.1 to JATS 1.0?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Derrick
