XML & Metadata Services
Structured scholarly metadata, XML preparation and validation designed for reliable downstream distribution.
← Back to ServicesScholarly metadata is a core part of the modern publishing infrastructure. Accurate article, journal, author and publisher information allows scholarly records to move reliably between publishing systems and downstream services.
GEST provides structured metadata and XML-oriented technology support for publishers and journals. The workflow can cover metadata preparation, XML structuring, validation and maintenance of publication records.
Metadata quality is particularly important when information is transferred between systems. Structured validation helps identify missing, inconsistent or incorrectly formatted information before it reaches downstream workflows.
GEST approaches metadata as a lifecycle rather than a one-time activity. Records may need to be updated when articles change, publication information evolves or identifier-related information needs maintenance.
