>Title: E-Publishing Scientific Papers: Conversion of Word documents to
>an XML-based format --by Tim Wilson-Brown
>
>                     Abstract
>
>"In theory XML has provided a universal format for the communication
>of documents. In practice a lack of standards and easy to use software
>has slowed progress." (Tom Worthington) I will review current
>electronic formats for publishing scientific papers. I will propose
>an XML-based format for the publishing of such papers.
>I will demonstrate a prototype open-source system which performs
>conversion from the ACS E-Publishing template (a Word document)
>to this new format. This system will also be able to extract
>useful metadata from successfully converted documents.
