<div class="">Thanks, Ross, for reminding me (again!) that it is possible to create any tagged version of a document via a “pdf with full information in its tagging”.<br class="">

<div>PDF is a very versatile format, with its concept of objects and dictionaries.</div>
<div>But one has to be quite precise in creating such objects, especially with streams of data.</div>
<div>PDF production tools are meant to take care of that. </div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>To my way of thinking, the “Universal” in PDF/UA — Universal Accessibility, is kind of like the Abstract Algebra concept of a Universal Object.</div>
<div>That is, to get a particular format of a document, you project down from the Universal Object, and all relevant structure will be preserved.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>It’s kind of like Category Theory, in some ways...</div>

<div class=""><br class="">
The tagging in such a “fully tagged pdf” would need to be equivalent (pretty much identical to) that in a suitably rich XML schema. One example (maybe the only one) of such a schema is that used as the target by the LaTeXML system.<br class="">
<br class="">
Do you know of any tools that can transform (given all extra needed information) any XML schema into the necessary pdf stuff?

<div><br class="">
</div>
… so you are asking for an appropriate (software) Functor, to map/export to XML schemas.</div>
<div>Working the level of Schemas, rather than individual documents, it would need to be a 2-functor or higher level, I guess.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>That’s not the level at which I work.</div>
<div>But there is an Applied Category Theory conference coming up this July in Oxford: </div>
<div> <a href="http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/ACT2019/" class="">http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/ACT2019/</a></div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>Some of my academic colleagues will be there; but not me.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>BTW, I’m not entirely joking, as a lot of programming can be described in a categorical way.</div>
<div>There’s even a 1/2 hour talk scheduled, titled: The Mathematics of Text Structure .</div>
