Notes
We are currently in discussions with a publisher about making their publications available on ISLG in the new application. As part of that process, they have provided us with a sample document:


The sample includes a PDF and XML version of the document. Harsh Parikh, Tech Lead at DevIT Harsh and Jitesh Dhuravala, DevIT Jitesh could you please examine the XML document and provide feedback on whether you foresee any issues with converting the document into an HTML format that is compatible with the new application.

Hi Morgan Maguire, CEO Morgan ,

We have looked above attached XML document and found that this is totally different than Treaties & Arbitration XML documents.

We are Identifying the elements like Paragraph, Heading, footnotes in Treaties & Arbitration 's  XML documents but this XML does not considering any elements like Treaties & Arbitration 's  XML document.

We are not identifying that how to set rules to convert html. For example, Which section is heading, Which section is paragraph etc ..

Could you help us anyway to identify the elements ?

Hi Harsh Parikh, Tech Lead at DevIT Harsh ,

This isn't unexpected given that this document is coming from an outside source. However, I can go back to OUP and ask them to provide us with more information about the document. Could clarify exactly what type of information your need?

Thanks,

Morgan

Hi Morgan Maguire, CEO Morgan ,

Actually, Morgan If you see the XML and compare with our existing XML then you will get to know that there are lots of tags are different in XML.

There are different number of tags are available. 
For example,

  • <DistinctiveTitle refname="DistinctiveTitle"></DistinctiveTitle>
  • <Subtitle></Subtitle>
  • <Contributor></Contributor >
  • <SequenceNumber></SequenceNumber>
  • <ContributorRole></ContributorRole>
  • <TitlesBeforeNames ></TitlesBeforeNames >
  • <NamesBeforeKey></NamesBeforeKey>
  • <KeyNames></KeyNames>
  • <Affiliation ></Affiliation>
  • <Contributor></Contributor>
  • <ImprintName ></ImprintName>
  • <PublisherName ></PublisherName>
  • <PublicationDate ></PublicationDate>
  • <line></line> etc..
From above tags, We are not identifying to how content will set in HTML.

Also, If you have PDF of this XML then send to us. By looking that PDF structure, we will do more in depth.

Ok. Harsh Parikh, Tech Lead at DevIT Harsh , I'll ask OUP to provide us with an outline of their XML scheme, but I'm assuming the elements listed above are custom elements included to identify specific data within the XML text. Wouldn't it be fairly straight forward to convert these tags in to simplified heading elements that conform with our HTML schema?

Also, the PDF is included above.

Thanks,

Hello Harsh Parikh, Tech Lead at DevIT Harsh ,

OUP has provided us with a series of documents for understanding the XML tagging scheme above. The documents are accessible here:

OUP_DTD
Password: L7UbW9KyLF9s
https://islg.egnyte.com/fl/6MGJLyJluW

Please let me know if this helps explain customized tags found in the XML sample above. 

Please note that the information contained in this file is commercially sensitive and confidential. Any copies of the documents should be stored in a secure location with access limited only to those who are required view the documents for the purpose of this task.

Also, I'm going to add this topic to the agenda for discussion tomorrow.

Thanks,
