Abstract
In the publishing process, readers, publishers and writers can profit from structured documents. Adding explicit structural information to a document is currently so costly that it is rarely done. We show an application of graph technology which supports authors by offering a possibility to model the concepts to be discussed and their relationships. These semantical structures can then be serialized into multiple ordered hierarchies which provide a framework for formulating the document content. Either of the structures can be edited with the other being kept consistent. Publishers can reduce their copy editing and cross-media publishing cost by using this information.
We explain the implementation of these operations as a executable graph production system, that is productions as well as the underlying graph schemas.
This work has been funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) in its “Schwerpunktprogramm V3D2” (Verteilte Verarbeitung und Vermittlung digitaler Dokumente, Distributed Processing and Exchange of Digital Documents), http://www.cg.cs.tu-bs.de/dfgspp.VVVDD.
The research described here is part of an industrial cooperation with Springer-Verlag dealing with parameterized production of multimedia books.
