Merops
multipla
multiple sets of documents
Processing documents from a wide variety of sources, and
making them consistent, is one of the challenges a publisher has to face.
It is especially acute when the number of authors is in the hundreds or
thousands, with little editorial control, as with multiple sets of
abstracts for a conference. Merops multipla greatly
simplifies and speeds up this process by automating the identification of
abstract elements and applying stylistic consistency.

Consistency
|
Merops multipla uses Merops para as an engine to deliver highly structured
and consistent documents. This can realize significant cost savings. Here
are some key areas:
|
|
Names
|
Merops nominus
identifies name components, so among the automatic corrections are:
abbreviation of forenames to initials; swapping initials and surnames;
deletion of qualifications.
|
|
Addresses
|
Merops locatio can be
used to ensure the country names in each address, which may have been keyed
by the author in their domestic language, are standardized.
|
|
Case
handling
|
The ability to enforce consistent use of case in
document titles and headings is especially crucial if this process could
involve making thousands of manual changes. Merops casius can invoke a fully
automated correction stage.
|
|
Graphics
|
Authors often embed charts and diagrams in their
abstracts. Pavo extractum
automatically extracts and processes these files into agreed standard
formats (EPS for print, and SVG, PNG or JPG for online), while retaining
the placement instructions in the source document.
|
|
Autopagination
|
Eos folio uses extensible
style language (XSL) templates, including the formatting objects technology
(XSL-FO) to output press-ready PostScript for print or Web pages for online
publication. This highly automated solution is ideal for multiple abstract
sets, where units of can be ‘poured’ into a predefined yet flexible mould.
|
|
Contents
and
Index generator
|
Because the multiple document metadata as stored as XML,
generating pages derived from them is straightforward. Fully linked Tables
of Contents and Indexes can be an automatic by-product of the Eos approach.
