Digital publishing is much more than just getting material online...
I love digital publishing because it allows for brands and publishers to connect with their readers. On the technical side, it’s also a really interesting ecosystem to be involved in.
Here are some of the elements of digital publishing that may not immediately come to mind:
- Licence and user management, including analytics so you can track what users do
- Automation in the editorial workflow: enables you to publish a large amount of material efficiently (especially material that changes often)
- Secure material database that integrates with internal documentation
- Search engine and interactive features so that users can locate documents and make notes.
I was often just stuck in the create-publish pipeline before I got into the more technical side of things, but these days I get much more into things like automation and user management.
Having a modular approach to your publishing system means you can pick and choose the elements that make most sense to you. That’s been the idea behind Timehouse Oy’s digital publishing tools.
