[Utilities-announce] PubMed E-Utility 2013 DTD updates

[utilities-announce at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

NCBI PubMed E-Utility Users,

We anticipate updating the PubMed E-Utility DTDs for 2012 in mid-December, approximately on December 10 or 11, 2012.

The forthcoming DTDs are available from:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/DTD/nlmmedlinecitationset_130101.dtd
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/DTD/pubmed_130101.dtd

Changes to NLMMedlineCitationSet DTD AND MEDLINE/PubMed XML:


-          Indicating abstracts not in MEDLINE/PubMed but available from publishers
English-language abstracts are taken directly from the published article and included in the <Abstract> and <AbstractText> elements. If the article does not have a published abstract, the record lacks the <Abstract> and <AbstractText> elements. However, publishers may create English-language abstracts that are not published with the article, as well as, non-English- language abstracts that may or may not be published with the article.

These other abstracts will be indicated in the <OtherAbstract> element. A new "Language" attribute is added to the <OtherAbstract> element. The <AbstractText> element will carry the standard phrase: "Abstract available from the publisher."

DTD:
<!ELEMENT OtherAbstract (AbstractText+,CopyrightInformation?)>
<!ATTLIST            OtherAbstract Type (AAMC | AIDS | KIE | PIP | NASA | Publisher) #REQUIRED
                                Language (#PCDATA ) "eng">

Sample XML:
<OtherAbstract Type="Publisher" Language="fre"> <AbstractText> Abstract available from the publisher.</AbstractText>
</OtherAbstract>


-          Rename NameID to Identifier
The NameID element was created in 2010 and modified in 2011 but has not yet been used. NameID is renamed to Identifier. Identifier is an optional, possibly multiply-occurring element permissible within the Author (personal and collective) and Investigator elements.  The value in the Identifier attribute Source designates the organizational authority that established the unique identifier.

DTD:
<!ELEMENT     Author (((LastName, ForeName?, Initials?, Suffix?) | CollectiveName),Identifier*)>
<!ATTLIST     Author ValidYN (Y | N) "Y">

<!ELEMENT     Investigator (LastName,ForeName?, Initials?,Suffix?,Identifier*,Affiliation?)>
<!ATTLIST     Investigator ValidYN (Y | N) "Y">

<!ELEMENT     Identifier (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST     Identifier
                      Source CDATA #REQUIRED >

Sample XML:
<Author ValidYN="Y">
<LastName>Smith</LastName>
<ForeName>John</ForeName>
<Initials>A</Initials>
<Identifier Source="ORCID">55555555555555</Identifier>
</Author>

Thank you.
