Full access to Metadata editing within Word
Access to article information within docx files
Validation against DTD and style guide
Connect content to data or additional material
Journals and conferences are still two of the main conduits for new information
As content became available electronically, search provided an additional way of locating new content
New ways of discovering content may come from semantic analysis, recommendations, and social connections
Search and automated recommendations depend on structured information, in addition to full text content

Introduce as few new concepts as possible
Not directly aware of XML or NLM format
Simplicity in usability over features, avoid taxing the author
Experience driven by templates and centered around:
Required sectionsMetadata (keywords, subject, authors)
A docx file is a zip file
Document partsImagesCustom XML
Metadata is stored within docx files as XML using the NLM format
Keeps the content and metadata together in a single file
Word content is augmented with custom XML elements where needed
A second audience for the add-inEditors, journal and archive staff
Likely to have some specific knowledge of the NLM format
May want to access all of the metadata
But without having to resort to a XML editor
To be created by journals
Subset of a NLM article
Custom properties to indicateRequired and optional sectionsMinimum and maximum length for sectionsMinimum number of keywords or subjectsAbility for authors to add custom sections or keywords
Author related informationName, affiliation, email, biography, etc

Enable other add-ins to be created and to work alongside the Authoring Add-in
Provide a simple way for content to be extended or annotated
Enable institutions to use their own metadata form
How best to extend content and have it preserved in the generated NLM XML file?
Named-Content allows for tagging of terms
Other add-ins can rely on Authoring Add-in and use this element to annotate the document content
Present a form for authors to fill inEnable custom workflows within institutionsData entry in a structured way and not as part of the content
Custom Document Information Panel or InfoPath form
Existing or new tools can access the different parts of a docx file
Validate or convert content
Extract or add metadata
Connect metadata elements to a database
Tools can run on any platform, and on client or server
Just need a zip library and XML tools
