Well-Formed Document Manager

The Well-Formed Document Manager (WFDM) is a joint project developed by Scribe (www.scribenet.com) and Thomson-Shore (www.thomsonshore.com). It is built as a platform to solve a workflow, content management, multipurpose needs, and distribution issues that face small to medium size publishers. Combining our expertize in book manufacturing, Scribe and Thomson-Shore are developing content management system that provides systems that fit smoothly with the normal workflow of publishers. Equally important, your access to the WFDM is priced in a manner that will fit your budgets.

The WFDM is designed to work as an independent content management system, or with Scribe's Well-Formed Document Workflow (WFDW).

Subscribers may select their own vendors, or purchase services from Thomson-Shore or Scribe.

The WFDM is comprised of several components

Content Repository

  • The content repository stores your publications, so that they can be searched, retrieved, and output as either whole books, parts of books, or custom publications.

Editor

  • You can edit directly within the WFDM's WYSIWYG editor, or input and output materials to Microsoft Word for copyediting.

Multipurpose Publisher

  • Through the Multipurpose Publishing engine, you can create books in many popular formats, including InDesign, PDF, ePub, Mobi/Kindle, DocBook, and other formats.

Distribution

  • Once you have developed your publication, you may download it use it as you wish. Or, you can take advantage of the distribution package that we offer.
