Challenge

Goal

Using JATS

Phase 1 Architecture

Phase 1 Outcomes SAMHSA-specific DTD which added to JATS MarkLogic implementation hosted in AWS Interoperability with SAMHSA systems Transformation processes and style sheets to generate PDF, HTML, and DOC outputs from XML – HTML style sheet is fully responsive for mobile devices APIs and developer documentation to access content XML of all SAMHSA publication metadata (7,000+ products)

Phase 2: Content for Mobile App Expand the use of the content repository and publication XML. Disseminate the XML content using new channels. Identify and right-size the content for a mobile app. Convert content needed for app to XML. Update the DTD to allow special markup to retrieve content suitable for the app.

Phase 2

DTD Customizations for Mobile

App Architecture 1

App Architecture 2

Lessons Learned Multiple unique use cases could only be satisfied with an XML-oriented approach. Starting from JATS saved costs and time. Adding to JATS (rather than removing/modifying portions of it) ensured optimal flexibility. Development and maintenance of content in XML is a foreign concept to many content developers. Content conversion for existing content is not trivial. Working with partners with specialized expertise and products ensures success.
