DiVA: XML Academic Publishing

Interesting article from D-Lib about an XML-based document system out of Sweden. They defined their own schema that uses a DocBook content model, but a far richer metadata model that seems to be influenced by – among other things – Dublin Core, MODS, and the FRBR.

I believe Norm Walsh has talked about allowing the use of different metadata models in a future version of DocBook. This strikes me as a really good idea.
