§Need to be
integrated into workflows up-stream
–Early metadata
harvesting
–Accurate,
reliable and digital feeds for ONIX while content in production
–Libraries can
have ‘virtual books’ for approval purposes
–MARC
compatible records at an early stage
§Possible only
through integrated XML workflow
–Front-end XML
tagging before or during copyediting
–Building
cross-links and cross-references before page proofs
–Use of
multiple name spaces and roles attributes to add value in content
–Delivery of
digital content at multiple stages during production
–Enforces
standardization in publishing process
XML GOING FORWARD…
