Convert XML JATS to ICML

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.

The ICML file extension stands for InCopy Markup Language, a format developed by Adobe Systems for their Adobe InCopy software, first released with Creative Suite 4 (CS4) in 2003. ICML files are used to store document text, graphics, and page layout settings, enabling seamless collaboration between writers and designers by linking portions of an Adobe InDesign document for editing. This format ensures efficient content management and real-time updates within the creative workflow.
