The growing trend toward open-access publishing and toward funder   mandates for deposit of preprints in archives such as PubMed Central   (PMC) has led to interest in the interchange of scholarly literature in   XML created by different parties.This symposium, to be held in conjunction with a meeting of the TEI&#160;Council,  will explore such  questions through a series of presentations outlining  the current state  of the art in institutional publishing operations such  as those of  universities in the UK, France, US, and Australia, from the  point of  view of private sector publishers (among which the NLM DTDs  are  increasingly adopted), and from international initiatives where   interoperability has been identified as a major factor (e.g., PEER,   which includes European research institutions, repositories, and STM   publishers). The objective is to identify current difficulties in making   publication systems interoperable and identify priority actions for  the  TEI to intervene in this arena.Questions to be addressed include:    What  role could or should the TEI have in asserting itself as a   standard  format for author manuscripts, published manuscripts, or   both?    Should  it be involved in building systems for sharing and   commenting on such  manuscripts?    Should it create a TEI customization for scholarly  publishing  or  broker a relationship with a vendor for discounted  conversion of   content to XML?A tentative programme for the day follows:9:30-10:00             Refreshments                               10:00&#8211;10:10Welcome from Chair of the TEI&#160;Council    Laurent Romary (INRIA &#38;&#160;HUB-IDSL)10:10&#8211;10:40             Introductions                               10:40&#8211;11:20Use of TEI in publishing workflows I    Susan Murray-Smith (Sydney University Press)    Dominique Roux &#38; Pierre-Yves Buard (Les Presses  universitaires  de Caen)Chair:&#160;Daniel O'Donnell11:20&#8211;11:40             Coffee break                               11:40&#8211;13:00TEI for aggregated content    Marin Dacos (Centre for Open Electronic Publishing (Cl&#233;o), CNRS)    Ronald Snijder (OAPEN)    Laurent Romary (INRIA &#38;&#160;HUB-IDSL)                     Friederike Kleinfercher (Max Planck Digital Library)                                                                                                                                                                             Chair:&#160;Gabriel Bodard13:00&#8211;13:40             Catered lunch                               13:40&#8211;14:20Tools for TEI in scholarly publishing    James Cummings (Oxford University)    Sebastian Rahtz (Oxford University)Chair: Matthew Driscoll14:20&#8211;14:40             Coffee break                               14:40&#8211;15:20Use  of TEI in publishing workflows II    Kenneth Reed (University of North Carolina)    Martin Holmes (University of Victoria)Chair:&#160;Brett Barney15:20&#8211;15:40             Coffee break                               15:40&#8211;16:40Prospects  for broader adoption of TEI                     John Maxwell (Canadian Centre for Studies in Publishing)                                                                                                                                                                                 MJ Suhonos (Public Knowledge Project)    John Shaw (SAGE Publications)Chair: Lou Burnard16:40&#8211;17:00             Closing discussionDuring the  presentations, there will be simultaneous discussion in  the backchannel  #teipublishing and in a publicly readable and editable  Google Docs file,  where participants will formulate a way forward for  the TEI in  scholarly publishing.
