AcademiXML ver 1.0 – Syntax

Since most text, audio and video formats available on the web is in the HTML format, AcademiXML is designed to work with HTML as well as standalone.

When AcademiXML is used with HTML, the symbols “<” and “>” are replaced with “[" and "]” (similar to the markup language used in Wikipedia) to avoid confusion with HTML tags. The author can enclose snippets of her blog posts or her web page in AcademiXML to make that portion of text discoverable by the AcademiXML web crawler, which adds the text in its global network of academic texts. Alternatively, she can write the text entirely in the AcademiXML format and publish it on the web as a xml file.

Instance Case 1: Minimal Implementation
Below is an example of a minimal implementation in AcademiXML.

<academixml xsi:schemaLocation=”http://www.academixml.org/xsd/001.xsd” version=”1″>
<collection author =”Hiromi Ozaki”, time = “2009-09-19T13:37:45.0Z”>
<feed>http://www.academixml.org/examples/helloworld.xml</feed>
<data author =”Hiromi Ozaki”, time = “2009-09-19T13:37:45.0Z”>
<value>Hello World! This is my first academic text written in AcademiXML. </value>
</data>
</collection>
</academixml>

Instance Case 2 : Minimal Implementation with HTML
Below is an example of a minimal implementation in AcademiXML used within HTML.

[academixml]
[collection]
[hiromi]Hello World! This is my first academic text written in AcademiXML.[/hiromi]
[/collection]
#collection [creator:"Hiromi Ozaki", time:"2009-09-19T13:37:45.0Z"]
#hiromi [creator:"Hiromi Ozaki", time:"2009-09-19T13:37:45.0Z"]
[/academixml]

The AcademiXML for HTML differs from its standard XML format in the way that it has ‘declarations’ in the very end or the beginning, in a style similar to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). By declaring all details of the texts and author in one section, it un-clutters the text making it more legible for the readers. Alternatively, if legibility is not an issue, the writer can still write the text in the same format as the original, in which case the “<” and “>” symbols are simply replaced with “[" and "]“.

<value>AcademiXML is a markup language for writing, connecting and sharing academic text. AcademiXML lets the writer tag her own piece of writing with the author name, time, location, keywords and other relevant information so her text can be filtered by a chosen keyword or be associated with other authors’ writing. AcademiXML supports the addition of context or “meta-data” about where the writing came from, in a form meaningful both to machines and humans to facilitate the searching of data streams that they particularly need. This helps spontaneous, unplanned connections to be made between texts from different sources with common contexts.</value>
