Media production
Once the content has been created, the various media are produced in this step. A distinction is made between print media, electronic media and automatically created media and programming.
Each medium requires specific specifications and work steps, which are described in detail.
As a result of the media production, the media are available and can then be published and distributed.
Electronic media
The various electronic output devices place different demands on information products. This must be taken into account during the production of information products.
Metadata enables the fulfillment of specific requirements and variant-controlled production. In contrast to print media, electronic media such as the Internet, PC and all mobile applications enable the simultaneous production, transmission and recording of content.
As a result of this process step, the information product is available in an electronic version that the output device can use for display.
- Digital provision of content (e.g. online help, websites, apps, displays, e-books, HTML5, PDF, smart glasses)
- Social media, video blogs (vlogging), podcasts, video platform
- Metadata for controlling publications
- Variant control with metadata
- Transfer to content delivery systems (e.g. iiRDS; VDI 2770)
- Automated processes (control e.g. XSL-FO, and for creating screenshots) for the production of print media
- Automated processes (control e.g. XSL-FO, and for the creation of screenshots) for the production of online documentation
- Programming to create electronic media for the information products (moved here from “Programming”)
