Database-centered automated publishing for specialized publications

Specialized publishing requires accurate information to be updated over long periods. Separate editorial and production workflows made revision history and reflection difficult to manage.

ProDIX linked Adobe InDesign layouts with XML data, allowing layout updates to be reflected back into the database and making it easier to maintain current information.

The system has been used for multiple books and supports future goals such as revision-history management, broader information delivery and lower work costs.
