XML Encoding & Conversion Services


AfricanType’s typesetting service produces full-text JATS compliant XML files for all journal articles, for better indexing, archiving, and text and data mining potential. Full-text XML files include core article-level metadata like:
  • Cited references
  • Complete funding information
  • Copyright license information
  • Persistent identifiers, such as DOIs
We also can convert media rich, unstructured paper documents or their scanned images to powerful XML files. We use and modify a variety of third party encoding standards such as TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) or Docbooks and develop other proprietary content management tools to create XML databases. We have extensive experience in encoding character sets in many languages.
Our services include:
  • Analyzing your data
  • Developing/modifying DTD/Schema
  • Writing conversion specifications
  • Pre-migration data clean-up
  • Proofing, Validation and QC Audits
  • XML FO transformation
