Intern:PanXML

The software PanXML is a tool to create XML files needed for DOI registration at the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB). An XML file created by PanXML is based on the XSD file article-doi_v3.2.xsd. Further schemas may be added on request.

 * Rename pdf-files with its related DOI suffix (e.g. polarforschung.87.1.15.pdf)



3. Processing:
 * Start PanXML
 * Choose from the Menue Tools/Reference list -> XML files for DOI registration
 * Choose control file as prepared in step 1.
 * Select encoding of input control file - see (UTF-8, Latin-1, Apple Roman)
 * Select output directory
 *  will start processing of XML files (encoding is UTF-8)
 * Provide XML-files, PDF-files and XSD-file for download by TIB at http://store.pangaea.de/temp/xxxx.zip as zip-archive.

Create reference list as template The user has to create a list of references with an editor that is able to save the document as tab delimited text file (txt). An example for a reference list like that can be created by PanXML with this menu.
