But what if . . . ?

Considerations

• At eLife, how the PDF will be generated is still an open question.
• Érudit are not currently generating PDFs themselves; journals are generating them upstream and sending them through as a finished product. However, Érudit is planning on offering PDF generation as a service to journals that need it.

XML requirements

The self-uri element is placed as a child of the article-meta and contains a xlink:href attribute, the value of which contains the filename of the PDF (which would be placed in the DAR file).

<article-meta>
     ...
     <self-uri content-type="pdf" xlink:href="elife-00001.pdf"/>
</article-meta>

Requires additional work beyond the scope of Texture

@FAtherden-eLife Is the value for the 'xref' attribute always going to be the same? Or does it change for example to 'elife-00002v2.pdf' when a new version of an article is released?

[fred-atherden]

@NuclearRedeye, in our workflow the version numbers are added by Continuum on ingestion rather than by the typesetters.

From Libero Editor's perspective, the eLife value will always be elife-{article-id}.pdf.

Obviously this isn't the case for others.

@FAtherden-eLife Thanks, so I think that this is a safe bet initially to just be set automatically by the editor. I'll let @NickDuf work through the finer details but it reads to me that this might be a 'display only' field at least for MVP anyhow.

Could do. Or we could retain whatever the typesetter has provided.
