[jats-list] Fwd: [FoRCnet.org] RFI on the National Library of Medicine

["Kevin Hawkins kevin.s.hawkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As you know, JATS grew out of the National Library of Medicine DTDs, and
the NLM continues to sponsor a number of things related to JATS, including:

  * JATS-Con
  * the PubMed Central Tagging Guidelines
  * the PMC XML Validator
  * the PMC Style Checker

If you've taken advantage of any of these, or otherwise used services
provided by the NLM, you may want to provide comments on the NLM's

As a member of the Advisory Committee to the NIH Director (ACD) Working
Group on the National Library of Medicine (NLM), I encourage you to
respond to the working group's Request for Information, which was issued
this morning. Please share this notice with interested parties.

http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-15-067.html

This Request for Information (RFI) seeks input regarding the strategic
vision for the NLM to ensure that it remains an international leader in
biomedical data and health information. In particular, comments are
being sought regarding the current value of and future need for NLM
programs, resources, research and training efforts, and services (e.g.,
databases, software, collections) b collectively referred to in this RFI
hereafter as bNLM elementsb.  Your comments can include but are not
limited to the following topics:

b" Current NLM elements that are of the most, or least, value to the
research community (including biomedical, clinical, behavioral, health
services, public health, and historical researchers) and future
capabilities that will be needed to support evolving scientific and
technological activities and needs.
b" Current NLM elements that are of the most, or least, value to health
professionals (e.g., those working in health care, emergency response,
toxicology, environmental health, and public health) and
future capabilities that will be needed to enable health professionals
to integrate data and knowledge from biomedical research into effective
practice.
b" Current NLM elements that are of most, or least, value to patients and
the public (including students, teachers, and the media) and future
capabilities that will be needed to ensure a trusted source for
rapid dissemination of health knowledge into the public domain.
b" Current NLM elements that are of most, or least, value to other
libraries, publishers, organizations, companies, and individuals who use
NLM data, software tools, and systems in developing and
providing value-added or complementary services and products and future
capabilities that would facilitate the development of products and
services that make use of NLM resources.
b" How NLM could be better positioned to help address the broader and
growing challenges associated with:
b" Biomedical informatics, bbig datab, and data science;
b" Electronic health records;
b" Digital publications; or
b" Other emerging challenges/elements warranting special consideration.
