FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a publishing system that gives publishers control over formatting and page layout while automating dynamic publishing.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The traditional publishing allows each author to handcraft the appearance of each page; the limitation is that it ties information to the way it is presented. This means that if one wants to publish the same information in print, Web, and electronic formats, then one has to create an entirely separate version of the information for each media type. While traditional publishing lets customer reuse information by copying and pasting it, it also leads to redundant information that must be maintained separately indefinitely.

US patent 7,149,969 relates to a method of receiving a request for content from a client and providing the requested content presentable on the client's device. The content is transformed using an n-stage transformation technique, wherein the presentation format is created in one or more stages (passes).
The present invention provides a system which creates, manages and delivers content by converting unstructured XML format to intelligent XML(iXML). The iXML is then presented to the ICE( editor) where user can apply his changes for delivery on multiple devices,
US patent 7,076,728 relates to a system for end-to-end content publishing using XML with an object dependency graph based on separation of content and style and reusability of information content. The patent works on object dependency technology which separates content and style.
The present invention transforms the content by merging it with style rather than using an object dependency graph.

US patent 7,086,002 relates to a system and method of operation for creating, editing content for an on-line publication using internet standard processes and object oriented interpretive software. The system also automatically creating and constructing interactive and dynamic presentations of contents from unstructured information feeds and augmenting the feed with images for an online publication.
The present invention allows users to work on content both online and offline, and requires user intervention for applying styles, paragraph formatting
US Publication 20070101259 relates to authoring and publishing software tools guiding users in authoring and publishing manuals with structured templates having defined content areas, electronic library (data pools) of permissible content, structured data storage, and synthetic text generation.
Thus to overcome the problems the present invention discloses a system which transforms traditional publishing solutions to dynamic publishing; it gives publishers control over formatting and page layout while dynamic publishing

automates that process. By helping customers to create information in components, dynamic publishing lets them reuse information by referring to it instead of copying and pasting it.
The present invention provides dynamic templates and allows the user to define the templates, choose the format and delivery mode.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS
It is to be noted, however, that the appended drawings illustrate only typical embodiments of this invention and are therefore not to be considered as limiting its scope, for the invention may admit to other equally effective embodiments.
Figure 1 shows the a block diagram of the workflow and system
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the workflow and system. The system has two main functionalities of CORE Engine and Interactive Composition Environment. Core Engine is having its own repository and workflow that takes the pXML or other DTD documents as input from various service frameworks or

CMS and in interactive composition environment convert the data in form of output delivery of eBook, elearning module for mobile, pda, web via ICE wizard and ICE Editor. Inputs to the system comes from the service framework that have tools and technologies that convert the all authoring works such as Editorial authoring, Print composition services and manuscript authoring, into pxml. The service framework has its own content management system to store, manage and access all the authoring, tool and conversion.
The system is a perfect blend of established cutting edge and new technologies in the market. It uses Adobe Flex with the combination of Microsoft .Net Framework. The (UI) User Interface has been crafted in Adobe flex and the technologies binding them is .Net 3.0. The system is an enterprise scale publishing solution which combines flexible layout with automated publishing to create and deliver accurate, relevant, and attractive communications across multiple types of media, including print, the Web, mobile and electronic devices. The system's service framework supports authoring and other conversion tools. The combination of services framework tools help the users from book writing, editing, proofreading, composition and delivery both to print and interactive

media. This shifts the authoring focus from handcrafting pages to creating information that is independent of any specific media type, which means that authors stop worrying about how the information looks and instead focus on writing it. Authors also shift from creating monolithic documents to writing small, reusable components of information. With services framework, responsibilities may also become more specialized.
The service framework uses authoring tools, conversion tools and other tools such as tools from companies like Adobe, Quark, Arbortext, EasyPress. Services Framework throws an unstructured XML output which the system converts to an intelligent structured XML. This data can then be enhanced and repackaged to allow for analysis and delivery to a wide variety of media including print, PDF, web and mobile devices. In addition, the system provides a means for customers to create sophisticated and integrated content engineering workflows.
The system comprises of a core engine and the Interactive Composition Environment. The core engine further comprises of a Document Type Definition

Management System (DTD MS) and workflow system. The core engine receives unstructured XML output from service framework and converts to an intelligent structured XML format with the help of DTD management system.
The DTD MS (DTD Management System) which recognizes the structure of user supplied content and automatically generates a template. If the user is not satisfied with the mapping, one can modify the mapping rules. Mapping rules are stored in the DTD MS for later use. DTDMS is an integral component of the engine. It is the front end component for importing the XML into the system. It takes care of the following tasks of analyzing of the input XML, analyzing of the input DTD (if provided), generation of translation rules for translation from input XML to iXML (Intelligent XML), providing the user interface to modify the generated translation rules; or selecting the existing translation rules (if any are stored), converting the input XML into the iXML based on translation rules, storing and versioning of the DTD's and translation rules.
The DTD based on the input XML can be used in two ways: 1. When XML is with the data type definition (DTD):

(a) If the DTD provided is stored in the DTDMS, then the process is automatic, and the input XML is automatically converted to the iXML.
(b) If the DTD provided is not stored in DTDMS, then user has to manually map the existing DTD into the iXML DTD. The DTD then gets stored and is ready for later use. The input XML is automatically converted to the iXML.
2. When XML has no DTD
In this case DTDMS attempts to recognize the structure of the XML and defines
the data points. After recognition user has two options:
Map the recognized structure to existing DTD, previously stored in the DTDMS;
or manually map the recognized structure into the iXML DTD through the user
interface.
In any case, the output of the system is iXML, which is later used as a main XML for formatting in Interactive Composition Environment (ICE). Another output are also the translation rules, which are generated only once per each DTD, and can be reused for later use. DTDMS can only handle properly structured XML documents. All the XML files with syntax errors are discarded.

This intelligent structured XML format information is fed to the Interactive Composition Environment (ICE).The ICE comprises of ICE wizard, ICE editor and ICE tool enhancer/modifier. ICE Wizard is an interface where a user is taken automatically to the end result without getting into details as to whats happening in the background. ICE Editor/ICE Tool Modifier is a user interface where a user can choose the content, apply styles, adjust paragraph formatting, choose multiple mediums, such as PDA's ,mobile phones, interactive, flash.
The information after processed by the interactive composition engine is delivered to a wide variety of media including print, PDF, web and mobile devices via print composition services. A system wherein the system allows the user to work both offline an online.
The system allows the user to work on dynamic templates and define the templates while he chooses the format and delivery mode. The system enables tools for automatic template generation based on users content structure (DTD MS).

The system the dynamic templates stored as pure XML files.
The system provides a user an Editor to choose delivery format and delivery
medium.
The system allows the user to apply his style and can customize the output.
The system's architecture is predicated on state of the art, open standards andis
designed from the ground up with integration in mind.
The system incorporates industry standard technologies such as XML, XSL,
UNICODE, and REGEXP.
The system is built which is compatible with corporate networks such as
XMLRPC, HTTP, Security, Firewalls.
The system helps in direct communication, where there is no need to mount file
systems or configure and maintain paths.
An end to end framework, the system handles the entire lifecycle from content procurement to distribution to archival and retrieval. It functions as one integrated application that can publish across channels - Web / Print / Mobile / Interactive. An author manuscript is content creation/procurement, structuring is content management, storing it in CMS is content archival and retrieval and throwing the content on multiformat devices is content delivery mechanism.

Numerous modifications and adaptations of the system of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and thus it is intended by the appended claims to cover all such modifications and adaptations which fall within the true spirit and scope of this invention.
The system of the present invention comprises a service framework, a core engine and an interactive composition environment. The data from the service framework received by the core engine is converted from unstructured XML format to intelligent structured XML by the DTD management system.
