Title
Reusability of JATS: decadal trends from front to back
Brief description
An exploration of the reusability of JATS, focusing on changes over the last decade
Abstract
For a decade, JATS-tagged documents have been mined systematically to harvest information for reuse in Wikipedia and its sister projects, including Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource and Wikidata. In the process, a number of inconsistencies became apparent in the way JATS was used, which helped trigger the formation of the JATS4Reuse initiative that is steadily working on improving the consistency between the JATS standard, the JATS documentation, existing Tagging guidelines and the XML available through the websites of publishers, libraries or archives.
Along with specific use cases like the increased need for the tagging of preprints or additional document components like ethics statements, these standardization efforts have contributed to the evolution of JATS and its flavors.
In this contribution, we will outline some issues we have observed while reusing JATS at scale, highlighting in particular some parts that have evolved most visibly over that decade. We will touch upon the trend towards expanding the JATS vocabulary and explore how some of the problems with that expansion might be addressed by taking inspiration from features of nanopublications and Wikidata.
