One option for electronically submitting AN 241.1 data is Site-to-OSTI Tagged Acquisition Protocol (TAP). Site-to-OSTI TAPping was referred to as "batch upload" or the XML DTD method until August of 2008. This method allows sites to upload metadata in a batch XML file at any time. The uploaded XML file is formatted according to the requirements of OSTI's XML.
The Site-to-OSTI process allows sites to export data from existing databases and upload it to OSTI. The process is customized for the submitting site. Full text documents can also be uploaded. Sites choose how often and how many records each file will contain. Sites also choose whether to include in the metadata a URL to the site-hosted full text or an uploaded full text. Unclassified documents with CUI access limitations MUST be input to E-Link via the Web Announcement Notice 241.1.
Below is the XML DTD sites must follow when uploading information for Site-to-OSTI TAPping. This DTD is the same DTD used "behind the scenes" for the Web Notice 241.1, which is an online implementation of the official Announcement Notice in DOE Order 241.1B. You may see the terms 241.1 DTD, XML DTD, or Site-to-OSTI TAP DTD interchangeably.
