EJP XML manifest items to convert: Reviewing editor details

[Melissa37]

Problem / Motivation

WHO: Production/Bot/Production Vendor
WHEN: Between Export from EJP/xPub and delivery to production vendor
WHERE: In eLife bot processes
WHAT: Senior editor details
WHY: Differences between EJP output and final XML (EJP could not match our requirements exactly)

Proposed solution

Output from ejp:
<contrib-group content-type="section"><contrib contrib-type="assoc_ed" id="author-24218"><name><surname>Frank</surname><given-names>Michael j.</given-names></name><role>Reviewing Editor</role><aff><institution>Brown University</institution><country>United States</country></aff></contrib></contrib-group>

Final XML:
<contrib-group content-type="section">
...
<contrib contrib-type="editor" id="author-10"><name><surname>Collings</surname><given-names>Andy</given-names></name><role>Reviewing Editor</role><aff><institution>eLife Sciences</institution><country>United Kingdom</country></aff></contrib></contrib-group>

Differences:
EJP @contrib-type is"assoc_ed"; final XML is "editor"

Clarification needed and assumptions

• This is repeated in the sub-article decision letter
• In the kitchen sink the EJP ID is present in the main article xml but not the sub-article. Is this a mistake? And why is the senior editor EJP ID not in the Kitchen sink but this is?

---

Tasks

• Could the details required for the decision letter sub-article be taken from this XML? Would need this detail to be stored and then pulled in and matched up with the right paper when the decision letter is processed.
• Make the changes necessary to deliver to production

I'm seeing in the input XML for what I think is an Insight article has empty tags for the editor records, I assume they can be ignored:

<contrib-group content-type="section">
<contrib contrib-type="assoc_ed" id="author-">
<name>
<surname/>
<given-names/>
</name>
<role>Reviewing Editor</role>
<aff>
<institution/>
<country/>
</aff>
</contrib>
</contrib-group>
<contrib-group content-type="section">
<contrib contrib-type="editor" id="author-">
<name>
<surname/>
<given-names/>
</name>
<role>Senior Editor</role>
<aff>
<institution/>
<country/>
</aff>
</contrib>
</contrib-group>

Hi @gnott Feature content will have a whole load of their own tickets! For research articles I think this should never be empty and so this is something we'd need validation on.
