XML Markup

When using the Extensible Markup Language (XML) you set up the production of press-ready PDF files, web-optimized PDF files, full-text HTML and metadata for aggregators, all from a single source file. The same source file goes to archive and enables the preservation of the most valuable asset, the content. We have been working for many years with the European Union in their XML projects, finishing projects in all 24 official languages. We are specialized in working with Docbook, TEI, JATS/BITS standard (formerly the NLM DTD) and we have extensive expertise in many other XML standards and on proprietary structures.
