upCastGeneric 3.0 and 4.0 to dtbook
upCast is a tool provided by Infinity Loop. upCast is able to convert RTF files to XML.
One possible output is XML validating against upCastGeneric DTD. When using upCast we recommend using the following options :
- XML (generic DTD)
- Remove empty elements
- Include visual elements
- Validate
- XML DTD
- Write to file
- Table model : HTML 4.x
- 'kind' Naming conventions : XML 1.0
The current version of upCast is 3.0.8 (Build 21). upCastGeneric DTD may be found at http://www.infinity-loop.de/DTD/upcast/V3.0/upCastGeneric.dtd.
We use upCast for producing both dtbook and opf files. We rely upon informations found in document properties. Some of these parameters may be passed as arguments.

Should we keep thtat feature ?
Questions
At present we use RTF document properties for :
- dc:Identifier : unique identifier
- dc:Language, lang attribute : language of dtbook
- dc:Creator and docauthor : author of the book
- dc:Title, title and doctitle : title of the book
- and others to use in generating OPF files
Where could we get these informations oterwise ?
To build a valid OPF, we need to write filenames in the manifest. How to decide on that ? At present, unique identifier is used.
