XML Publishing
Structured XML workflows for single-source, multi-channel publishing.
Structured XML is the backbone of reliable single-source publishing. We design and run XML workflows that let one validated source drive print, digital, and data outputs, so format changes, new editions, and future channel requirements do not mean starting from a different file each time. For publishers moving away from format-locked workflows, XML is the practical path to long-term efficiency.
Pain points we solve
- Content locked into one output format with no reuse path
- No semantic structure to support automation or accessibility
How it works
- 1Define or adopt schema (BITS, JATS, custom)
- 2Convert content to structured XML
- 3Validate against schema
- 4Generate print, digital, and data outputs
Frequently asked questions
What is single-source XML publishing?
Single-source XML publishing means maintaining one validated XML file per title, from which all output formats are generated: print PDF, accessible ePub3, web, and data feeds. Changes are made once in the source and propagated to all formats, eliminating format-specific files that drift out of sync.
Which XML schemas do you use?
We work with BITS (Book Interchange Tag Suite) for books, JATS (Journal Article Tag Suite) for academic articles, and custom schemas where a publisher has specific structural requirements. We advise on schema selection based on the publisher's content types and downstream use cases.
Can you convert our existing content to XML?
Yes. We can convert Word documents, InDesign files, PDFs, and existing ePub files to structured XML. Conversion is followed by validation and a review pass to ensure the semantic structure is correct before any outputs are generated.
