Scientific Document processing at CERN
LaTeX Tools (September 2008)
Information about the latest version of LaTeX installed at CERN is here.
XML Tools
Some XML tools I am currently looking at are described here.
A (rather outdated) list of XML tools and information about XML
available at CERN is here.
Information about DocBook, a markup scheme to write and maintain
scientific and software documentation is here.
XML and (La)TeX working together
A strategy of XML for electronic document handling is discussed here. The
bibliography in that article will guide you to further
developments. An article describing an approach based on XSL and
Sebastian Rahtz' PassiveTeX was presented at the TUG2000 Conference in
Oxford (13-18 August 2000) and is available here.
More recent developments based on a presentation on the 28th November
2001 at the TIPS Review Meeting in Luxembourg are here.
Since the beginning of 2000 CERN has been collaborating on a EU-funded
project TIPS (Tools for
Innovative Publishing in Science), which had its final review
meeting in Malaga (Spain) on 28-29 of May 2002. In that project CERN
was responsible for studying ways of how XML tools can be optimally
integrated in the framework of handling electronic information
efficiently, especially for scientific documents. Some conclusions
are available in a final report An XML Web
strategy for scientific documents (PDF, 1.85 Mbytes)). TORII,
the innovative Web knowledge system for scientists developed by TIPS,
is available at the Torii welcome
page, and will also be installed at the CERN Library.
