Another interesting reference:
... "efirst XML is specifically designed to allow journal articles to be
optimized for presentation both on the Web and in print using a single
storage format by supporting references to multiple graphic and
multimedia files. It allows a journal to be built from databases by
supporting multiple keys in elements such as <author.> It allows easy
compatibility with HTML presentation formats through the use of
HTML-style tables. Most importantly, efirst XML is designed from the
ground up for XML— it's not just a port of an SGML application. The
efirst XML document type definition, or DTD, provides a level of
validation that has previously required the complexity of SGML. The
result is an archival-quality format compatible with inexpensive XML
tools.
efirst XML has been used in the production of the two most recent
volumes of the MRS Internet Journal of Nitride Semiconductor Research, a
pure-internet journal published by the Materials Research Society with
the assistance of Openly
Informatics, Inc."

"Abstract
The Open Archives initiative (OAi) promotes and encourages
the development of author self-archiving solutions (also
commonly called e-print systems) through the development of
technical mechanisms and organizational structures to
support interoperability of e-print archives. Such
interoperability can stimulate the transition of e-print
systems into genuine building blocks of a transformed
scholarly communication model. This paper describes the
Santa Fe Convention of the OAi. This is a set of relatively
simple but potentially quite powerful interoperability
agreements that facilitate the creation of mediator
services. These services combine and process information
from individual archives and offer increased functionality
to support discovery, presentation and analysis of data
originating from compliant archives."
