Hi Lynn,

my organization needs to transform NLM (national library of medicine)
xml for our journal articles into xml that conforms with the DOAJ
(directory of open access journals) xml schema. we can write such a
transform, but before we expend the resources to do so, we would like to
know whether someone else has already written one that we could use.
does anyone know of such a transform that's already in existence?
No, but unless I'm mistaken the DOAJ format covers just metadata, and
isn't terribly complex, so this doesn't look like a very hard
transform to write.
I think the challenges here are more in controlling the input side
(i.e., in the particular ways you are using the NLM metadata
structures, which are fairly permissive in certain important
respects). But I bet you have that licked.
You may already know of the mailing lists run by NCBI, where there
will be a higher concentration of NLM users. You could try
