 e-Publishing
makes
content available to a very large audience in a flexible and cost-effective
manner. RelTech will help you to create reusable content using the "write
once, read anywhere" approach. Content is the currency of the information
economy--a marketable commodity. You retain the rights to your content,
and are free to distribute it as you please.
RelTech takes your file- and paper-based sources and converts them to electronic resources that can be published through a range of media, including the World Wide Web but not forgetting print. Examples of our publications include: Electronic publication typically requires the capture of images and text. Images are scanned at a high resolution to create an archive from which lower resolution images are derived for everyday use. Text is captured in a number of ways--some more accurate than others. Once captured, a text can be marked up using XML to give it a much greater utility than the corresponding plain text. It can be searched intelligently (e.g. search only among titles) and displayed in a manner appropriate to the medium (e.g. produce PDF for a printer, HTML for a browser, and WML for a wireless device).The benefits of electronic publication are manifold. The potential audience size is enormous--far greater than for printed items. As a consequence, electronically published documents have more potential to be read and subsequently quoted. It is not at all difficult to update or correct electronic publications, and modifications are instantly propagated. The cost of delivery is low by comparison with conventional printed materials. The user can access the document in whatever medium is preferred. RelTech is particularly keen to develop archival quality scholarly resources. Documents created with longevity in mind will remain viable well into the future. |
