Workflow: XML Before Composition

(An XML publishing application)

• Manuscript or XML from authors
• Converted to clean XML (ideal)
• Editorial/Production done in XML (or XML is added here)
  • content editing
  • peer review
  • QA and validity
  • WYSIROTS proofs (return of the galley!)
  • Live links for references
• Final page adjustments postponed until all else is done
• XML transformations used to produce
  • pages (or rough starter pages)
  • HTML for the web
  • RSS feeds
  • content for aggregators
  • new products
