Scope of application

Journal articles can be delivered to the German National Library using the NISO JATS 1.1 Journal Publishing Tag Set format (also known as "the blue DTD"). The Schema version of NISO JATS 1.1 Journal Publishing DTD is used for deposits. It is fully backward-compatible with the previous schema.

Documentation

The documentation describes how metadata in NISO JATS 1.1 format must be structured if they are to be successfully deposited with the DNB. Metadata elements can be obligatory or facultative. It is also possible to transfer and record additional metadata which go beyond the minimum requirements. All data are reviewed during the test phase required before the publication is deposited.
