Hi, We 've been working on a knowledgable DTD for our product structure for about a year. We 've been customizing the authoring tool (XMetaL) for every change in the DTD. But now that authors can work with it (and check their documents in into an XML database: eXcelon) we experience the full benefit: different publications on different websites without any latency, overhead or loss of quality. - The authors are enthousiastic because they can edit WYSIWYG (MS-Word like). - The webmanagers are enthousiastic because they reach their goals with only initial efforts. There is a question though: - How to reach the goal of text element reusage without taking the text element out of context OR - How to recreate context for re-usable text elements. We do some of this re-usage ofcourse, but a more generalised structure might be possible. Kind regards, Martijn van der Jagt architect of: http://www.sopho.philips.com
