The Importance of XML
Brooks addressed the increasing need for incorporating XML into book production processes as the numbers of formats used and the re-use of content increases. "As [they] continue to grow, the pressure [to adopt an XML workflow] is not going to let off," he said.
Brooks also discussed the necessary culture shift within production departments when adopting XML, and the resistance companies many times face from their production staff. "There are difficulties in turning production managers into technologists," he said. One tactic Brooks suggested to production managers to overcome these difficulties was to better acquaint staff members with newer technologies, such as using a wiki to record staff meeting notes.
