As a part of my prac­tical term in the past six months, I de­ve­l­o­ped an XML-based work­flow for au­to­ma­ted E-Book-production. To be ho­nest, we ne­ver thought about a re­vi­sion or cor­rec­tion work­flow. But the publishing-houses did! Af­ter de­li­ve­r­ing the pro­du­ced epub-files to them we re­cei­ved the cor­rec­tions and an­no­ta­ti­ons via Fax – as shown in the image on the right side.

D’oh! We de­ve­l­o­ped a re­ally cool high-technology work­flow and they put their reading-device on the co­pier, co­pied it, made their an­no­ta­ti­ons on the pa­per and old-school-faxed it back to our office.

Hehe ^^ No com­ment…
