Publishers, businesses, associations, and other types of organizations have information they want to make available to customers, clients, members, and readers of all sorts. This content does not magically appear in bookstores or on the Web, however. Producing books, journals, Web pages, and any form of content, requires exacting editorial, design, and production services. In the digital age, though, it is imperative to produce content for multiple uses—for distribution in multiple print and electronic formats, for multiple editions and reprints, for multiple permutations of the same content, for repurposing content from different sources to respond to market demand. Scribe employs its Well-Formed Document Workflow to do this efficiently and cost-effectively.
Scribe's core business is to provide the services necessary to prepare our clients' content for delivery in any format. After we receive your content, we compose it by applying styles to make it a well-formed document. Then we edit it to achieve the greatest linguistic and literary clarity and to make it conform to the preferred style. Next we convert the finalized content into Scribe's version of XML (ScML) format, which allows us to enrich the content with valuable metadata. The flexible structure of this point document allows us to design and typeset, import and export data, and output the finalized content in multiple formats.
If you have content that you want to publish, Scribe's Well-Formed Document Workflow is the best way to reach that goal. In the end, your content will be available as a printed text, a CD-ROM, a Web site, a database, or whatever format you desire. Not only that, but the content will be ready to go back to market in any other format, because, as an ScML document, it is already enriched with the tagging necessary to output in multiple formats.
