From planning to production: XML first workflow for specialist journals.
Media-neutral article creation, planning issues, including advertisement placement and highly automated production – this is how journal production is done today. The SiteFusion solution for journals provides editors and producers with everything they need to be creative as well as efficient to refine Content.
The planning of the issue, layout of the sheets to be printed, selection of the page templates and the placement of the contents as well as the advertisements are tasks of the page planning.
Authors and editors write their articles using an XML-Editor to avoid structurally incorrect entries from the beginning on.
The XML articles automatically flow into the prepared layout templates, according to the rules.
Inside of SiteFusion, text boxes, images, tables or other elements can now be visually inserted or moved.
Scripts developed by us let the XML content automatically flow into the defined layout templates, whereby a preview can be generated as a rough make-up.
Once the rough make-up is created using Adobe InDesign Server, the user can interact within the InDesign client at any time to polish, either with or without a plug-in.
Single article sales via digital channels is as possible as providing the complete edition as an ePaper in the browser application or EPUB reader.
In the production of specialist journals, we consistently rely on a XML-first workflow with SiteFusion. The content is captured initially or by copy & paste directly from Word in the XML editor. A PDF is generated at the touch of a button. This is done by Adobe InDesign server and a combination of intelligent scripts and transformations. The finishing touch is done directly by the layouter/typesetter in InDesign.
In order to maintain the media-neutral format of the content as long as possible in the process, we have developed a layout editor within the SiteFusion journal solution that gives the SiteFusion users the ability to visually place elements such as images, tables or boxes and ad hoc generate a preview.
In interaction with our page planning module, in which the sheets to be printed and page templates are selected and the advertisements are placed, SiteFusion is an excellent solution for an efficient and modern style of journal producing. In addition, thanks to the media-neutral management of content, publishing in portals and apps is possible at any time.
