The technical editor and document databases: What the future may hold

Michael J. Albers University of Memphis

Abstract

Abstract Technical editors ensure a document communicates with the reader. With XML, active server pages, and dynamic document creation, Web pages are no longer simple hand‐crafted text objects, but dynamic groupings of text assembled moments before the reader views the page. With dynamic documents, high‐level editing tasks will be, at best, vaguely defined during text creation. To maximize the information content, future technical editors require tighter control over information consistency and content.
