[…] digital technology unless they could rewrite the rules for this market in some way. And some did: lower costs through workflow engineering; higher prices from adding pages and issues to journals; and, most importantly, market dominance by bundling a number […]
[…] Responsive web design, especially the complex variety seen in the Boston Globe, is not easy to implement. It requires different workflows than many web developers are used to. While the process can begin with traditional wireframes and glossy design work, […]
[…] things into the process for building more concepts for the machine to feed back to us. It’s exactly the same workflow process as they use for the maps project. Scroll back up and read that amusing quote about real things […]
[…] digital solutions, the obvious gap between the researcher and the publisher is even greater. How to create an end-to-end XML workflow? Should we develop our own software platform in house or work with one of the growing number of vendors? […]
[…] not necessarily that good ideas don’t exist. They do and might flourish, but realistically, the care and feeding of existing workflows and business processes need to be supported. In an era of reduced capacity for economic reasons, there isn’t the […]
[…] never mind doze in, a single one). The lie flat seat: worth its weight in bound volumes. Judy Luther: Reengineering workflow by outsourcing production components such as copyediting and composition has enabled publishers to utilize a global workforce to streamline […]
[…] really gets me about it is why publishers are on the receiving end of so much of the vitriol. Consider this workflow: Scholar gets funding for research Scholar does research Scholar undertakes a process whereby they attempt to maximise the value […]
[…] medicine alone, we see things ranging from EBSCO’s DynaMed to Wolter-Kluwers’ OvidMD to Elsevier’s ClinicalKey — semantics, focused repositories, and workflow solutions are being pursued with vigor, major investments, and big ideas. Similar fronts are opening in chemistry and engineering, […]
[…] a uniform manner. Products that offer a superior user interface, superior mechanisms of information discovery, or superior integration with user workflows will be perceived as more valuable than less able products, even if those competitive products have content of similar […]
[…] content didn’t remix with other content on a daily basis. The path forward in one of synthesis, finding paths into workflows and attention zones, and aligning with an audience. A house divided cannot stand, but both sides will surely sink […]
[…] the first gentle pressure of change as pre-processing routines check references, do initial styling, and introduce basic formatting. Full XML workflows push this even further. And if editorial decision-making is truly fair and unbiased, it’s certainly amenable to being replicated […]
