Convert EPUB to XML JATS

The EPUB (Electronic Publication) file extension is a widely utilized format for digital books and publications, leveraging its versatility across various e-readers and devices. Officially established by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) in 2007, it superseded the Open eBook standard. EPUB's structure allows for reflowable content, meaning text can adapt to different screen sizes, enhancing readability. It supports multimedia elements, such as images, videos, and interactive features, making it suitable for diverse digital publications beyond conventional eBooks. EPUB's adoption stems from its open standard, promoting broad compatibility and ease of access in the digital publishing landscape.

The Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS) XML file extension is pivotal in digital publishing. XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. JATS, an NISO standard, was designed to tag and structure the content of scholarly articles. Initially derived from NLM (National Library of Medicine) DTDs in the early 2000s, JATS ensures consistent formatting and metadata tagging for articles, facilitating efficient indexing, searchability, and interoperability across various databases and platforms. Its use in the academic and scientific community supports robust archiving and seamless dissemination of knowledge.
