Single Source Publishing Concept

Single source publishing, also known as single sourcing, allows the same content to be used in different documents or in various formats. The labor-intensive and expensive work of editing need only be carried out once, on one document. Further transformations are carried out mechanistically, by automated tools. It may even be possible to add new output formats in the future. Single-source publishing is desirable in such areas as:
 * Technical publishing formats
 * Content assembly, including translation and localization
 * Different contexts of use.
