In today's digital world, the word "publishing" means much more
than just the commonly understood act of creating a document
in print. We can also publish for the web, on small hand-held
computers (PDA's) and on other devices and through email.
But each time we publish a document for these different media
and devices the workload, and the cost, goes up. Each version of
the document has to be designed differently.
This project is developing technologies that enable a document
to be designed and laid out once and then made automatically ready
to publish through multiple channels.
Problems addressed
We're working to develop a publishing framework, and tools, within
which documents may be generated for publication over multiple
delivery channels. In particular, we are engaged in:
- Reducing the cost of creating, updating and maintaining content
used for each channel
- Supporting inclusion of dynamic content
- Providing for customisation and personalisation
- Automation of the creation to fulfilment publishing value network
Our Contribution
The team has been developing technologies and standards that will
become the foundations for multi-channel publishing. We are engaged
in developing an open (XML) standard based architecture that enables
single sourced-document publication. At the heart of this is a
software toolkit developed in HP Labs Bristol, parts of which are
now available to download through the web and are being widely
used today.
