Convert UOF to XML JATS

The UOF (Uniform Office Document) file extension is used for documents created in the Uniform Office Format, an open standard developed in China for office productivity applications. It supports word processing, presentations, and spreadsheets, using XML formatting. The format was designed to be compatible with various software. The UOF format compresses all document contents in a file container, and while the UOF extension is generic, specific extensions like UOT (text), UOP (presentations), and UOS (spreadsheets) are more commonly used.

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.
