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 independ
ently, 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.
