1 day

Basics, systems and tools

With an ever-increasing quantity of information, we often feel as if we will get lost in a flood of data. Neither producers nor users have the quantity of data under control, and we are always looking for ways of restricting the volume of information so that we can get a clear overview. Single source publishing is a strategy that promises to be effective.

Single source publishing means that contents are created only once and maintained in a central location but can be used and distributed as often as required in different formats. The contents need to be modularized appropriately for successful single source publishing.
