Modules in NISO STS

This section names and describes all of the modules of the NISO STS that exist in the base Interchange and Extended Tag Sets in the DTD forms. An organization may choose to add additional modules or not call in some of those listed.

Each of the NISO STS Tag Sets will have its own DTD module. The individual DTD modules call in all of the other modules needed and then declare the top-level <standard> element.

NISO-STS-interchange-1-mathml2.dtd	The base NISO STS Interchange Tag Set, using MathML 2.0, for organizations already using MathML 2.0. This Tag Set is intended not recommended for new users or users who are not already tagging math.
NISO-STS-interchange-1-mathml3.dtd	The base NISO STS Interchange Tag Set, using MathML 3.0. Using MathML 3.0 is Best Practice, preferred over MathML 2.0.
NISO-STS-extended-1-mathml2.dtd	The Extended version of the NISO STS Tag Set, which includes both XHTML and CALS tables and uses MathML 2.0. This Tag Set is intended for organizations already using MathML 2.0 and is not recommended for new users or users who are not already tagging math.
NISO-STS-extended-1-mathml3.dtd	The Extended version of the NISO STS Tag Set, which includes both XHTML and CALS tables and uses MathML 3.0. Using MathML 3.0 is Best Practice, preferred over MathML 2.0.

The NISO STS customization modules are used in each of the NISO STS DTDs to declare NISO-STS-specific elements and provide overrides for the JATS Publishing, JATS Suite, and BITS modules. The filename for each modules will include a version number and a suffix (.ent), so, for example, the module “NISO-STS-modules” will in this version of NISO STS, take a filename of “NISO-STS-modules1.ent”.

NISO-STS-modules	Module to Name NISO STS Suite-specific Module — Declares all the external modules that are specific to NISO STS (except this module itself, so this module must be both declared and called from inside a DTD). A Tag Set selects from these modules by referencing the module names through external parameter entities. All modules are declared (named) in this Module of Modules, but referenced (called in, if wanted) inside a DTD. To include a set of elements (such as all the non-TBX terms and definitions elements), a DTD references the external parameter entity of the module that contains these declarations. Call-in Sequence: The NISO STS Module to Name NISO STS Suite-specific Modules is the first of the naming modules. Each NISO STS Tag Set also contains the Journal Publishing Tag-Set-specific Module of Modules and the JATS base Module to Name the Modules (along with the MathML 3 modules, if used). These modules need to be among the first four external modules called by a NISO STS Tag Set. Customization modules for classes, mixes, and models will typically be called following the cluster of Modules to Name the Modules.
NISO-STS-classes	NISO STS DTD Customize Classes Module — Sets up the parameter entities for class overrides. These parameter entities will over-ride selected class definitions in the JATS Journal Publishing DTD class module, the JATS base suite default class module, and selected BITS modules.
NISO-STS-classes-extended	NISO STS Extended DTD Customize Classes Module — Sets up the parameter entities for element class overrides that override the NISO STS ordinary classes when OASIS tables are used in a Tag Set.
NISO-STS-mixes	NISO STS DTD Customize Mixes Module — Sets up the parameter entities for mix overrides. These parameter entities will over-ride selected mix definitions in the JATS Journal Publishing DTD mix module, the JATS base suite mix module, and selected BITS modules.
NISO-STS-models	NISO STS DTD Customize Content Models and Attributes Module — Sets up the parameter entities for complete content models, element-groups within content models, attribute lists, and attribute value overrides. These parameter entities will over-ride selected content models and attribute lists in the JATS Publishing DTD, the JATS base suite, JATS base suite, and selected BITS modules.

These modules, which define the NISO-STS-specific elements and attributes, are the base of NISO STS and are shared by all NISO STS Tag Sets:

NISO-STS-adoption	NISO STS Top-level Adoption Wrapper Module — Element declarations for the top-level <adoption> element in the NISO STS Interchange Tag Sets.
NISO-STS-CALS-adoption	NISO STS CALS Top-level Adoption Wrapper Module — Element declarations for the NISO STS top-level <adoption> element in the Extended Tag Sets (which include CALS tables).
NISO-STS-standards-components	NISO STS Common Standards Document Components Module — Element declarations for high-level components of a standards document, such as <body>, and <back>.
NISO-STS-notes-exmp	NISO STS Notes and Examples Elements Module — Element declarations for both normative and non-normative notes and examples.
NISO-STS-terms-n-def	Non-TBX Terms and Definitions Section Modules — Declares the elements for a less complex, reading-order model for terms and definitions, which may be used instead of or in addition to the TBX term models.
NISO-STS-common-metadata	NISO STS Common Metadata Elements Module — Declares the metadata elements shared by all of the metadata components elements (<std-meta>, <iso-meta>, etc.) and their contents.
NISO-STS-std-metadata	NISO STS Standards Metadata Elements Module — Declares the <std-meta> element.
NISO-STS-iso-metadata	NISO STS ISO Metadata Elements Module — Declares the <iso-meta> element.
NISO-STS-nat-metadata	NISO STS ISO-related National Metadata Elements Module — Declares the <nat-meta> element.
NISO-STS-reg-metadata	NISO STS ISO-related Regional Metadata Elements Module — Declares the <reg-meta> element and its unique contents.
NISO-STS-tbx-setup	NISO STS TBX Setup Module — Declares the elements and attributes for describing terms and definitions in a namespace-qualified, TBX (TermBase eXchange) compatible vocabulary derived from ISO 30042.
NISO-STS-tbx-namespace	NISO STS TBX Namespace Module — Provides the namespace structure for using the namespace-qualified version of the TBX DTD Define the TBX (TermBase eXchange) vocabulary, based on ISO 30042:2008(E) Annex A, modified to make all elements be namespace-qualified.

The JATS Publishing DTD modules are an integral part of NISO STS, as they were of ISO STS. NISO STS customization modules override portions of the JATS Publishing customization modules, which in term override JATS base-Suite modules. The customization modules of the JATS Journal Publishing Tag Set (JATS-journalpubcustom-classes1.ent, JATS-journalpubcustom-mixes1.ent, JATS-journalpubcustom-models1.ent, and JATS-journalpubcustom-modules1.ent, and, for the extended NISO Tag Sets the modules JATS-journalpub-oasis-custom-classes1.ent and JATS-journalpub-oasis-custom-modules1.ent) are used directly inside NISO STS DTDs.

JATS-journalpubcustom-modules	Module to Name Journal Publishing Tag-Set-specific Modules Module — Declares all the external modules that are specific to the JATS Journal Publishing Tag Set (except itself, so this module must be both named and called inside a DTD). A Tag Set selects from these modules by referencing the module names through external parameter entities. The entities are declared in this module, but referenced (or not) inside a NISO STS DTD. To include a set of elements (such as all the lists or all the MathML elements), a DTD references the external parameter entity of the module that contains these declarations. In NISO STS, this Module of Modules joins those for NISO STS and the JATS base-Suite.
JATS-modules	JATS Base-Suite Module to Name the Modules Module — Declares all the external modules that are part of the modular JATS DTD Suite (except itself, which must be both named and called inside a DTD). In NISO STS, this Module of Modules joins those for NISO STS and the JATS Publishing DTD.
JATS-journalpubcustom-classes	JATS Journal Publishing Tag Set Class Customizations Module — Declares the parameter entities that will be used to override default classes prescribed by the JATS-default-classes module. Implementor’s Note: This module must be called after the various Module to name the Modules, but before any other module, including specifically the JATS-default-classes module (which this module overrides) and the JATS-journalpubcustom-mixes module (which builds on components defined in this module).
JATS-default-classes	JATS Default Element Classes Module — Declares the parameter entities that name the element members of each class that will be used to establish the content models. Implementor’s Note: This module must be called any of the mixes modules, as well before the Journal Publishing Customize Models Module (JATS-journalpubcustom-models, which builds on those modules).
JATS-journalpubcustom-mixes	Journal Publishing Tag Set Mix Customizations Module — Declares the parameter entities that will be used to override default mixes (groupings made of “classes”) prescribed by the JATS-default-mixes module. Implementor’s Note: This module must be called after all the classes modules, but before the JATS-default-mixes module (which this module overrides) and the JATS-journalpubcustom-models module (which builds on this module).
JATS-default-mixes	JATS Base-Suite Default Element Mixes Module — Declares the parameter entities that name mixes (groupings made of “classes”) that will be used to establish the content models. Implementor’s Note: This module must be called before the Journal Publishing Customize Models Module (JATS-journalpubcustom-models) or any element-defining modules of the Suite.
JATS-journalpubcustom-models	Journal Publishing Tag Set Models/Attributes Customizations Module — Declares the parameter entities that will be used to override content model parameter entities set elsewhere in the Suite. Also defines customizable attribute Declared Values and attribute lists for the tag set being defined. Implementor’s Note: This module must be called after all the class and mixes modules, but before any of the element-defining modules of the Suite.

The following modules are used as part of NISO STS, unchanged from BITS. Their content may be overridden by NISO-STS-specific customizations.

index	BITS Structural Index Elements Module — Element declarations for the BITS structural index model (<index>).
index-term	BITS Embedded Index Elements Module — Element declarations for the index elements that are embedded in the document narrative for the autogeneration of indexes.
toc	BITS Structural Table of Contents Module — Element declarations for the BITS structural Table of Contents model.
toc-nav	BITS Structural Navigation Module — Element declarations for the BITS navigation and pointing mechanism for structural Indexes and Tables of Contents.
xinclude	XINCLUDE Module — Sets up the namespace and elements for using <xi:include> to manage standards and adoptions as components rather than as a whole.

The following modules are used as part of NISO STS, unchanged from the JATS common modules. Their content may be overridden by NISO-STS-specific customizations.

JATS-ali-namespace	ALI Namespace Module — Namespace setup for the NISO Access License and Indicators elements (prefix “ali:”). The ALI elements are defined in the JATS Common module (described hereafter).
JATS-common-atts	JATS Common (Shared) Attributes Module — Declares the attributes intended to be used on ALL elements defined in the NISO JATS. The list of all elements includes the table elements for both the XHTML-inspired and OASIS-inspired table models. The list of all elements does not include <mml:math> and its contents, whose namespaces NISO STS does not control. This module must be called after all module-of-modules modules and any namespacing modules, but before all customization (over-ride) modules.
JATS-common	JATS Common (Shared) Elements Module — Declarations for elements, attributes, entities, and notations that are shared by more than one class module or tag set. Implementor’s Note: This module must be called before any of the NISO-STS-specific modules in the NISO STS Suite.

The modules that declare the structural and elements and attributes that make up the JATS base-Suite are defined by the following modules. These models and attribute lists may be overridden by the customization modules of NISO STS or of the JATS Publishing DTD.

JATS-articlemeta	JATS Journal Article Metadata Elements Module — Declares the metadata elements (issue elements and article header elements) originally used to describe a journal article, but now included among the metadata elements for standards documents.
JATS-backmatter	JATS Back Matter Elements Module — Declares elements that are not part of the main textual flow of a work, but are considered to be ancillary material that follows the main document, such as appendices, glossaries, and bibliographic reference lists.
JATS-display	JATS Display Class Elements Module — Declares the display-related elements, such as figures, graphics, chemical expressions and structures, tables, etc.
JATS-format	JATS Format Class Elements Module — Declares elements concerned with rendition of output, for example, printing on a page or displaying on a screen. For example, this module declares elements in the Appearance Class, the Break Class, and the Emphasis (typographic highlighting) Class.

JATS-link	JATS Link Class Elements Module — Declares elements that are links (internal or external) by definition, such as URLs (<uri>) and internal cross references (<xref>).
JATS-list	JATS List Class Elements Module — Declares the elements in the List Class; these include all lists except normative and non-normative lists of bibliographic references (citations).
JATS-math	JATS Math Class Elements Module — Declares the elements in the math classes such as display equations.
JATS-nlmcitation	Former JATS NLM Citation Module — Adds the model for the NLM structured bibliographic citation element (<nlm-citation>). This element is now obsolete, has been deprecated in JATS, and should be replaced by either the <mixed-citation> or the <element-citation> element.
JATS-para	JATS Paragraph-Like Elements Module — Declares structural, non-display elements that may appear in the same places as a paragraph (such as <statement> or <disp-quote>). These elements are named in the various paragraph class parameter entities.
JATS-phrase	JATS Subject Phrase Class Elements Module — Declares the Phrase Class elements, that is, names inline elements such as <named-content> and <styled-content>.

JATS-section	JATS Section Class Elements Module — Declares the elements of the Section Class, that is, declares all section-level elements in JATS.

The modules that define or customize the elements and attributes of MathML 2.0 and MathML 3.0.

JATS-mathmlsetup	JATS MathML 2.0 Setup Module — Invokes the MathML 2.0 modules. Implementor’s Note:: To include the MathML 2.0 elements, a DTD must reference this module. This module sets up all parameter entities needed to use the MathML 2.0 Tag Set and references (invokes) the MathML 2.0 Tag Set Module, which, in turn, invokes all the other MathML 2.0 modules. MathML Warning: MathML 2.0 and MathML 3.0 may not be used together; a Tag Set must choose one or the other. Namespace Warning: The MathML setup modules and MathML modules establish the namespaces for MathML and XLink. Because of XLink, you will need to include the MathML modules, even if you are not using MathML.
JATS-mathml3-mathmlsetup	JATS MathML 3.0 Setup Module — Invokes the MathML 3.0 modules. Implementor’s Note:: To include the MathML 3.0 elements, a DTD must reference this module. This module sets up all parameter entities needed to use the MathML 3.0 Tag Set and references (invokes) the MathML 3.0 Tag Set Module, which, in turn, invokes all the other MathML 3.0 modules. MathML Warning: MathML 2.0 and MathML 3.0 may not be used together; a Tag Set must choose one or the other. Namespace Warning: The MathML setup modules and MathML modules establish the namespaces for MathML and XLink. Because of XLink, you will need to include the MathML modules, even if you are not using MathML.
JATS-mathml3-modules	JATS MathML 3.0 Modules Module — Names the modules needed for MathML 3.0.
mathml2.dtd and mathml3.dtd	MathML DTDs Modules — Used for either the Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) 2.0 or the MathML 3.0, an XML application for describing mathematical notation and capturing both its structure and content.
mathml2-qname.mod and mathml3-qname.mod	MathML Qualified Names Module — Declares parameter entities to support namespace-qualified names, namespace declarations, and name prefixing for MathML, as well as declares the parameter entities used to provide namespace-qualified names for all MathML element types. Used for MathML 2.0 or MathML 3.0, respectively.
mmlextra	Extra Entities for MathML Module — Declares MathML entities. The same file is used for both MathML 2.0 and MathML 3.0 processing.
mmlalias	Aliases for MathML Module — The same file is used for both MathML 2.0 and MathML 3.0 processing.

The modules that define the JATS XHTML-inspired table model are listed below. These models and attribute lists may be overridden by the customization modules of the NISO STS or of the JATS Publishing DTDs.

JATS-XHTMLtablesetup	NISO JATS XHTML-inspired Table Setup Module — Sets all parameter entities needed by the NISO JATS XHTML-inspired Table Module, and then invokes the module containing that model. To include the NISO JATS XHTML-inspired table model in a tag set, a DTD must reference this module. This module sets up all parameter entities needed to use the XHTML-inspired Table Module and references (invokes) the JATS XHTML-inspired Table Module. (See next item.)
xhtml-table-1.mod	NISO JATS XHTML-inspired Table Module — The public XML DTD version of the XHTML-inspired Table Module. This module is invoked from the module JATS-XHTMLtablesetup.ent. (See previous item.) This is the default table model for NISO STS. In the extended Tag Sets, the OASIS Exchange CALS table model may be used in addition or instead of the XHTML table model.
xhtml-inlstyle-1.mod	NISO JATS XHTML-inspired Table Style Module — Declares the @style attribute, which supports inline style markup for elements such as <td> and <tr> within an XHTML-inspired Table.

The modules that define the JATS version of the OASIS Exchange (CALS) table model are listed below. These models and attribute lists may be overridden by the customization modules of the NISO STS or of the JATS Publishing DTDs. To include the CALS table model in a Tag Set, these modules must be called out in the DTD.

JATS-journalpub-oasis-custom-modules	Journal Publishing DTD OASIS Tables DTD-Specific Modules Module — Declares the DTD-specific modules for necessary to include OASIS Tables.
JATS-journalpub-oasis-custom-classes	JATS Journal Publishing DTD with OASIS Tables Customize Classes Module — The class overrides necessary for CALS tables. These repeat all the class overrides of the regular Publishing DTD, with the table and alternative classes modified to use the OASIS XML Exchange (CALS) table elements. There is no equivalent mix override module, because CALS processing uses the ordinary Publishing mix overrides.
JATS-oasis-namespace	JATS OASIS Table Namespace Module — This modules establishes the prefix for the OASIS Exchange (CALS) table model, by default “oasis” (“<oasis:table>”).
JATS-oasis-tablesetup	JATS Namespaced OASIS XML Table Setup Module — Sets all parameter entities needed by the OASIS XML Exchange (CALS) table model, and then invokes the module containing that model. To include the OASIS XML Exchange (CALS) table model, a DTD must reference this module. This module sets up all parameter entities needed to use the OASIS table model and references (invokes) the OASIS XML Exchange (CALS) Table Model Module. This module has been modified to use a hard-coded namespace prefix of “oasis” for all table elements, to permit both the OASIS Exchange (CALS) table models and XHTML-inspired table models to be used in one tag set. There is a separate Tag Library (https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/options/OASIS/tag-library/19990315/index.html) describing the OASIS elements, attributes, and parameter entities.
oasis-exchange	OASIS XML Exchange (CALS) Table Model Module — This is the OASIS XML Exchange (CALS) table model DTD fragment, modified to use the OASIS namespace and the “oasis” prefix. This module is invoked from the JATS OASIS XML Exchange (CALS) setup module (JATS-oasis-tablesetup.ent).

The modules that define sets of general entity character entities and the notations (all optional) are listed below.

JATS-xmlspecchars	JATS XML Special Characters Module — Standard ISO XML special character entities used in this Tag Set.
JATS-chars	JATS Custom Special Characters Module — Custom special character entities created specifically for use in this Tag Set.
JATS-notat	JATS Notation Declarations Module — Container module for the Notation Declarations to be used with this Suite. These notations have been placed in their own module for easy expansion or replacement. Notations are left over from SGML, were often used in the early days of JATS, and are far less useful now.
