Service Vendor Investment in XML

(it’s not your data, it’s your service)

• If Content Provider has XML content,
  they will already have DTDs or schemas
  (not necessarily appropriate for publication)
• They will expect you to
  • accept XML source (minimally)
  • work in XML (better)
  • work in their XML
• They will expect a compositor/typesetter to
  Provide round-trip services
  (even when it is not clear if that is possible)
