Emphasis has been placed on the need to allow for content editing at almost any point along the publishing chain. With a few practical exceptions (i.e., it does not always make sense to fully recreate downstream versions for minor alterations), authorized users of the Well-Formed Document Manager (WFDM) can always edit the content.
We have selected TinyMCE to be the WYSIWYG editor in order to provide the variety of editorial levels necessary to make the WFDM successful. In the initial concept, the system was built to accommodate “post-production” materials. To accommodate the normal publishing chain of publishers, associations, and research foundations, we have developed TinyMCE to function within the Lenya Apache system to handle unedited manuscripts, materials that are subject to scholarly debate, or materials that have not been properly verified. We have built the system to accommodate the most complex model that we could identify.
The WFDM possesses the ability to produce multi-staged, multi-authored, multi-edited, peer-reviewed publications. TinyMCE lends to the WFDM the ability to create an on-line editor, with the functions of Microsoft Word. Incorporating that within the Lenya Apache system allows us to gain the version and publishing control necessary in all of our publishing scenarios.
