XML JATS has been developed with periodicals and journals in mind.

XML BITS is the version of XML JATS adapted for books or monographs.

Following a digital workflow allows XML content to be integrated at any stage of the editorial process.

The most common workflows are:

XML-First, in which data capture takes place as soon as the manuscript has passed the peer-review process.

XML-Last, which involves capturing content from PDFs that have completed all stages of the editorial workflow prior to production. This is the most common method for capturing older publications by digitising them from PDFs.

From the same manuscript, we can generate four deliverables: a print-ready PDF (proof), XML, HTML and ePub. But we can also generate other deliverables, such as extracting metadata for Excel spreadsheets.

The advantage of working with XML is that it can be converted into any other format using simple scripts in XSLT and XPATH
