9 Oct 2017, Geneva: XML for Standards Publishers

Standards have been traditionally delivered as PDF documents. Yet, in a world where standards are increasingly monetised through derivative products, exchanged between partners, and consumed on mobile devices, PDF does not provide the flexibility needed to meet current and future market demands.

The solution? XML!

Typefi is proud to be a sponsor of the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) XML for Standards Publishers event, to be held on 9 October 2017 at the Mövenpick Hotel in Geneva, Switzerland.

Join us for an introduction to the NISO Standards Tag Suite (STS), and to learn how XML can aid in content reuse for additional products and revenue, help you create multiple publication formats for different devices, support accessible publishing, facilitate interoperability between organisations, and ultimately reduce your publishing costs.
