The elements of published
material including text, graphics, sound and video clips.
The ability to
use the same single-sourced content over and over again to
create new publications and documents without recreating the
content.
The process
of consolidating and organizing content in an efficient and
accurate manner and storing it only one time in a repository
so it can be reused and repurposed to multiple publications
and media channels; content management software is best suited
for content that is regularly updated and published over and
over again.
The process of
studying content to discover the meaningful components and
define their patterns, rules, and attributes to build a structure
for the content for future uses.
The process
of changing an electronic file of content from one format
to another (i.e., changing a word processing document to an
XML-tagged document).
An
architecture for creating topic-oriented content that can
be reused and single-sourced for authoring, producing, and
delivering technical information.
A
file that defines the rules of behavior for a set of content.
Examples of standard DTDs include DITA, DocBook, and S1000D.
Publishing
done by separating content from formatting (allowing writers
to focus on content rather than design) and creating information
as reusable pieces to easily combine them for different uses
(different publications or different audiences).
A
markup language used to define document layout and specify
hypertext links for the Web.
Descriptive terms
or language that relates to a corresponding piece of content;
used for searching and retrieving relevant content (i.e.,
a photo of a Rottweiler might have the following metadata
attached: dog, man's best friend, fur).
Publishing the same content
to multiple channels including print (books, journals, etc.),
electronic (CD, wireless, etc.), and the Web.
To use the same content
for more than one publication or media channel (i.e., a main
medical dictionary's content is repurposed by extracting only
the terms and definitions of drugs to produce an online drug
reference guide).
Software
that is hosted on a provider's servers. For a monthly fee,
clients access the software and their content via a Web interface.
An
international standard for describing the structure and content
of machine-readable information. SGML "documents"
usually consist of text, graphics, and hypertext links. SGML
identifies and names the parts of the information so that
these parts can be managed and manipulated to create a variety
of products as diverse as typesetting, indexing, CD-ROM distribution,
serving as hypertext over the Web, and translation into foreign
languages.
The ability
to store content only one time in a repository so it can be
used over and over again in many publications or documents
without ever recreating it, and content can be updated in
all instances by only editing one occurrence.
A powerful content
management system for multi-channel publishing developed by
Vasont Systems; a database in which to store, edit, and repurpose
multilingual content for publishing to print, PDF, CD-ROM,
mobile and Web channels using SGML, XML, and future technologies;
the Art of Advanced Content Management.
A
simple dialect of SGML designed for use on the World Wide
Web and in Intranets. XML is a leaner, meaner, stripped-down
version of SGML; every valid XML document is also a valid
SGML document, but XML is an SGML subset, using only the most
commonly used SGML features.
Creation, editing and storage of topics
or modules of content that can be easily combined to create
many different publications in various formats for different
audiences.
