title: JATSPack and JATSPAN, a packaging format and infrastructure for the NLM/NISO Journal Archiving Tag Suite (JATS).
abstract: The NISO Journal Archiving Tag Suite (JATS, formerly known as 'the NLM DTD') is a common format used in publication of scientific literature. JATSPack, a proposal based on the new EXPath Packaging System, provides a way to package schema customizations and software libraries associated with any of the JATS schemas, thus making it easier for developers to distribute JATS-related resources and easier for users to acquire, install, and use them. JATSPAN (the JATSPack Archive Network) is a website allowing users to share and collaborate on JATSPacks. A client-side command line tool, jatspan, interacts with the site and eases the task of maintaining local repositories of JATSPacks.
