For the last little while, we've been talking to the Open Journal Systems guys about integrating TEI support into OJS, and adding code to produce PDFs from XML in OJS. This is pertinent especially now because our library is touting for UVic journals to put into their OJS system (IK is the contact there), and ETCL is beginning markup of DHCN journal articles for generating PDFs, using my teiJournal system. Over the last week or so, we've been discussing this in detail on email, and it looks as though a collaboration will take place.

My initial task will be to work with KA as she marks up DHCN articles, to expand and nail down the TEI schema for journal articles, and then to write a converter to NLM. NLM is already supported by OJS, so we should be able to use that as a method of adding TEI support without too much pain.

This post is to begin logging the time spent on discussions and planning, and then on coding.
