Publicon as an authoring tool

• An attempt to encourage use of a stand-alone, structured, stylesheet-based authoring tool, capturing in XML:
  • Document structure
  • Equations, tables, graphics
  • Citations
  • Metadata
• But not relations or attributes
• And no capture of dictionary/taxonomy/ontology terms
• Multiple-authoring difficult (merging citation databases etc)
  • For example, see DOI: 10.1186/1471-2105-6-180
