Suggestion: workflow for a journal

Suggestion: workflow for a journal

I would be very grateful if we could kindly suggest me the appropriate 
readings, documentation and so on for the following problem.
A journal specialising in TeX and LaTeX requires articles to be submitted 
in LaTeX. The journal has a template for authors. We would like to publish 
_also_ online: we plan to offer:

1.  a PDF version for the printed edition and for downloading;
2.  an online version for reading online and for archiving, featuring full 
compliance to JATS schemes.

I noticed that the most recent version of pandoc offers 3 different jats* 
outputs, but my problem is: since the journal (being a LaTeX journal!) 
requires LaTeX input, I would like to produce a LaTeX template featuring 
all the necessary data to obtain a complete JATS output. The ideal 
situation would be to export a complete "pandoc scholar" or JATS sample 
article to LaTeX, but I see that importing from a sample JATS most of the 
metadata are lost.
The ideal workflow for this journal would be:

*  the author receives a LaTeX template with all the fields necessary to 
produce a correct JATS file;
*  the file is compiled by LaTeX --> PDF file
*  pandoc transforms the LaTeX source to JATS

Again, the problem is to produce a LaTeX template with the full information 
useful/required by JATS.

Thank you for pointing me to the documentation that I should study. Maybe I 
did not find the appropriate lua filter; if so, I do apologise.

All the best for now,
guido

Just a question: Do you need LaTeX specific features, say for example 
biblatex/biber? If so, your JATS copy won't be identical to your PDF 
produced with LaTeX. Don't know if that's a problem, but anyway. (In case 
you need LaTeX specific features and identical JATS data you might need to 
deal with tex4ht...)

For the record, for various reasons I chose not to use LaTeX for a journal 
where I do the typesetting. Rather, we use JATS as our production format 
because we can display the XML with our web viewer and get a nice PDF with 
ConTeXt. But it's a humanities journal so I receive the manuscripts in DOCX 
anyway. But, if you already receive files as LaTeX files that probably not 
a good solution.

Concerning the lost metadata question:
What have you tried so far and what is missing in the output? Can you show 
an example?

Best,
Denis

Hello Guido,

I think it would be easier to provide advice when looking at an example.
Could you share more details about the kind of metadata that you'd like
to include? Metadata handling is currently a very manual job, there is
probably no "simple" solution. There are efforts to agree on certain
conventions with the [scholarly-metadata] project, but it is at a very
early stage.

It sounds to me like you could make do with just LaTeX and JATS, so you
could also use a tool more specialized than pandoc. [LaTeXML] should
suite your needs.

Cheers,
Albert
