This year’s annual NFAIS Forethought Strategic Summit
<https://www.niso.org/events/2021/06/transforming-content-through-transformed-systems>
focuses on the critical issue of developing systems that continue to add
value to scholarly communication. For content providers and their vendors
alike, the ongoing transformation from technology to support the handling
of text (submission, review, editing, formatting, organization, storage,
distribution, and discovery), to technology optimized for support of the
new content types, formats, and interactions, is challenging. For example,
who remembers now what a piece of code or its associated metadata, which
were developed years ago, look like? How many schemas have been brought in
at different times? How do you manage — and meet — the needs of multiple
stakeholders, internal and external?
