  3. proven in production • DK interactive iBooks • DK EWTG iPad apps (discuss) • Penguin Books: Jamie Oliver etc • all content sourced from Docbook XML

  4. traditional authoring • Easiest to do right • May be necessary in the transitional period • topic-based will not always offer a ROI for some titles or types of content

  5. Docbook Assembly • Docbook’s method for topic-based authoring • can be chunked at any level (whole chapter or a paragraph) • can be transformed from or to a traditional book structure

  6. RelaxNG+Schematron • RelaxNG - concise, easy to extend, restructure schemas, an ISO standard • Schematron - complements the above with rules like: <s:assert test="descendant::*[@role='assignment']"> (checks if a given Learning Object has any assignments in it)

  7. Docbook Toolkit • Out of the box production of PDF, HTML, EPUB, slides etc (good for proofing) • Excellent tools support (OxygenXML) • Fully customizable - can layer own XSL on top • (optional) Disassemble existing DK-Schema books using standard XSL

  8. How to use • Map Content Object such as POI to Docbook topic • Reassemble using XSL if all you need is a book (and reuse existing tools/workflow) • Use @metaref to link with a Triple store • Example: http://kode1100.com/content-objects/docbook/rg_spain-map.xml
