                               _XML for E-Journals Examples_

      I am greatly interested in e-journals that have implemented the use of 
XML for markup, display, and navigation. As many are aware, XML is envisioned as the Next Generation framework for electronic journal publication. Yet, while there are literally *hundreds* of books on the topic, I am not cognizant of the  e-journals (or e-journal publishers) that have actually *applied* this technology.

I am aware of one example and  listed in it EJI(sm), my registry of Innovative E-Journal  Features, Functionalities, and Content: 

        [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/EJI.htm ]    

  [  http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/EJI2.htm#XML ]

[Actually I've just learned of another _MRS Internet Journal of Nitride Semiconductor Research_ that makes use of eFirst XML, a version developed and made available by Openly Informatics, Inc.]

                             [  http://www.openly.com/efirst/] 

 In addition to XML use in general, I am also interested in e-journals that employ specific XML based application specifications (e.g., MathML
[ http://www.w3.org/Math/] 

   As Always and All contributions, candidates, suggestions, comments, queries, Scientific Secrets, Cosmic Insights, Etc. Etc. Etc. are Most Welcome!
