Abstract

Technological changes have resulted in market pressures to deliver information products in multimedia formats. Such varied formats require more complex technologies than those needed when the producer is limited to traditional hard-copy media. Paper, still the dominant publishing medium, is being supplemented — and in some cases, supplanted — by Compact Disk-Read Only Memory (CD-ROM) on-line knowledgebases, and other forms of electronic information. Publishing databases must evolve to support all media from a single source description. This paper describes the evolution of single-source electronic publishing using the experience of AT&T's Document Development Organization (DDO) as a paradigm. For an overview of DDO, refer to Panel 2 of this paper.
