The `nik.cls` doesn't seem to be included in TL. I've found some
version on Google though, so I can compile your document. It seems
that it redefines some default commands and environments, abstract
among them, so it will probably need some custom configuration.

But it seems that real problem is use of
`$\langle$georg at schaathun.net$\rangle$}` in the \author command, this
causes postprocessing with xtpipes to fail:

System call: java -classpath
/usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/tex4ht/bin/tex4ht.jar xtpipes -i
/usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/tex4ht/x
tpipes/ -o minimal-m2.4om minimal-m2.tmp
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 10; columnNumber: 34; The
element type "math:mrow" must be terminated by the matching end-tag
"</
math:mrow>".

The xml needs postprocessing with xtpipes in order to fix all
references. When I removed the angles around mail addresses, it
worked. even the abstract. The author block seems weird though.

I think

latex  article
bibtex article
mk4ht oolatex article

would be more than enough :)

It seems that we need also bibtex files :)
