Insights
Content first is a way of working.
Managing content independently of layout creates the foundation for reuse. An XML schema describes the structure; metadata makes the collection accessible. An aligned workflow connects that foundation with editorial tasks, checks and output channels. Start with a specific product and representative content.
- Clarify content structure before output details
- Test reuse against real products
- Involve editorial and production teams together
SHAPING THE INDUSTRY
Taskforce IT-Standards
Mario Kandler contributes to the Taskforce IT-Standards of the German Publishers and Booksellers Association, bringing SiteFusion’s perspective on structured content and workflow-based publishing processes.
The initiative brings publishers, software providers and consultants together to develop practical process models and guidance for digital transformation. BPMN models, user stories and a software glossary help publishers describe workflows and align requirements with their technology partners.
