THE STRUCTURE AND ADAPTABILITY
Understanding Publishers' challenges
- To choose PDF as well as XML as the delivery format of journal contents
while also using SGML (or XML) for maintaining structure.
- To implement a set of features making the online delivery easy and appealing.
Why select PDF - SGML (or XML) combination?
Already widely used within the publishing industry, for proofing and prepress,
the popular 'Acrobat' document format is proving to be ideally suited for online
delivery of literary works. Acrobat provides faithful rendition of text, font,
color and images, both in Latinized and double-byte languages.
PDF is the best way to preserve an electronic description of the visual appearance
of a page, SGML (or XML) is the best way to describe the structure and meaning
of its content.
As the number or complexity of the electronic publications grows, publishers
need a way to organize and manage them. Because of our flexible structuring
capabilities, as well as capacity to capture and organize information about
the publications ("metadata"), SGML is An effective solution. Even
if readers want PDF as an end product, they need SGML (or HTML or XML) to find
what they want.
