Abstract

As electronic-manuscript exchange becomes more prevalent, problems arise in translating among the wide variety of electronic representations. The optimum solution is a system that can support both the use and the creation of translation tools.

Reviews

Reviewer:

This is a somewhat long-winded yet readable paper about how to organize a collection of tools to help translate between a standard manuscript representation (based on ISO SGML) and the myriad existing document representations. The authors point out that, owing to the high-level structure of SGML, translating to other representations is straightforward, but translating in the other direction inherently requires human assistance. Unfortunately, they have not yet implemented much of what they propose. The paper would have been more valuable if it had (1) left out the general discussion of the merits of standardization, and (2) emphasized more clearly the general translation paradigm, since it also applies to other applications, such as translating between musical scores and soundtracks.
