Distributed Integrated Multimedia Publishing Environment

Objectif

The DIMPE project will create an environment which will enable a wide range of publishing services to proliferate in the 1990s. These services will be provided in the context of the evolving communications infrastructure anticipated in this time frame. As part of the work technical and usability trials will be completed to test key assumptions relevant to the distributed European publishing environment.
The aim of the research was to create a distributed multimedia publishing environment which will enable a wide range of publishing services to proliferate in the 1990s. These services will be provided in the context of the evolving communications infrastructure anticipated. Key issues in the research included:
publishing standardization;
usage requirements;
infrastructure evolution;
economics.

Following the receipt and interpretation of requirements from publishers in diverse markets throughout Europe, pragmatic publishing and communications specifications have been defined. A base of technoeconomic information has been compiled and this was considered a vital prerequisite for translating functional system designs into real designs. Scenarios for application pilots themselves have been defined and evaluated. These results have permitted completion of the design and specification for the chosen pilot. Interim services have been designed and implemented, to test compound document handling, information reuse and colour picture transmission. Definition of a distributed published architecture has also been completed.
Technical Approach

The project is based on a highly coordinated interpretation of users' requirements and a technical review of the relevant enabling technologies.

Analysis of application scenarios will guide the choice of architecture for the DIMPE pilots. Constraints are expected from the need to modify some peripheral publishing equipment, to support available telecommunications services. The actual design of the DIMPE architecture was completed in the third year of work. In conjunction with this, application standards were also agreed and promoted within the project. This is judged a key activity in the process of removing barriers to the future proliferation of publishing services.

The application pilot will include cooperative experiments planned for two major publishing sites in at least two member states. The principles and benefits of remote editorial activities will be explored with a view to local customisation of newspapers and magazines. This may lead to Europe-wide publishing operations, in the future.

Key issues

. Usage requirements.
. Infrastructure evolution.
. Economics.

Achievements
Following the capture and interpretation of requirements from publishers in diverse markets throughout Europe, pragmatic publishing and communications specifications have been defined to support the DIMPE architecture.

A base of techno-economic information has been compiled; this considered a vital prerequisite for translating functional system designs into real designs. Scenarios for the application pilots themselves have been defined and evaluated These results have permitted completion of the design and specification for the chosen pilot. Necessary modifications to existing publishing equipment are now underway.

Interim services have been designed and implemented, to test compound document handling, information reuse and colour picture transmission. Definition of a distributed publishing architecture has also been completed.

As part of the promotional activities the project has also produced a brochure, made a number of presentations at conferences and has attracted considerable editorial comment in the media. During 1992 the achievements and visibility will be exploited to maximum effect.

Expected Impact
This project should lead to a DIM publishing environment allowing for last minute changes, local news and local printing in the required language; in short a more economic, more efficient and better news service on a European scale.
