To Manage – a Paradigm Shift
• Content locked in context• Information can’t easily appear in multiple context and
can’t be tailored readily to audience• High costs of formatting• Content gets out of synch and difficult to refresh• Customers can’t find what they need
• XML Topic Methodology• Content can be reshuffled for deliverable• Same content can live in multiple outputs• Content can be delivered easily as web pages to
consume• Metadata and conditions can allow content to be tailored
on the fly • Content can be easily refreshed
Traditional Book Methodology XML and Dynamic Publishing Methodology
