The knkPublishing data structure provides an accessible view of all the different derivatives of the original work and reduces repetitive manual entry of metadata
Any saleable product can be defined (paragraph, chapters or articles for example)
All downstream activities such as rights and royalties are linked to that project data, and all metadata can be selectively inherited from top to bottom
Are you collecting metadata in spreadsheets or multiple databases? And can you ensure it is accurate?
Do you have a bullet-proof workflow including a failsafe system for reducing errors and labor redundancy?
Is your data transparent to all stake holders who wish to collaborate?
Are you spending too much time distributing ONIX files to multiple distribution partners and unable to account for the results?
