What is ElePub?
ElePub is the first Object Publishing System automating all
processes from content acquisition and administration via
content formatting to content distribution across all media,
formats, types of publications and applications. This web
site explains ElePub in details and emphasizes on the conceptual
and functional differences between ElePub and conventional
DTP and cross-media database publishing solutions.
Part of a homogenous
family
ElePub, the object database publishing software, is a member
of a homogenous product family and a triplet:
- to EleStore, the Content Management System
(CMS), and
- to Elecat, the page oriented electronic
paper catalog system based on CDF (Catalog Data Format).

ElePub
uses the content administrated by EleStore and formats it for use
on different media and in different types of publications and applications
using several new and unique concepts and features.
EleStore
logically administrates your multi-lingual content of any data type
with some or all of your data physically stored either in the integrated
database and/or in your existing database(s).
EleCat
is the unique electronic product catalog software supporting page
visualization, tabular database usage and mixed versions with bi-directionally
linked page and database content, which is imported either from
your existing DTP or paper catalogs and/or is the formatted output
from ElePub; it is used for distributing formatted pages and/or
data over the Internet, via CD-ROM, or as a hybrid solution.
A family of inter-related
but autonomous products
Although each of the triplet products can be used independently,
they complement one another perfectly and together they form a unique
product family covering all tasks from storing and administrating
publication content via creating formatted output to electronically
distributing the output.
This is why occasionally EleStore and Elecat are
also mentioned on this eb site because ElePub especially profits
strongly from the unique features of EleStore although ElePub can
also be used without EleStore, if needed.
