Custom Publishing

• Custom cookbook application: Developed a web-based cookbook application enabling a consumer to select among a database of more than 2000 recipes, enter his/her own recipes and other personalizing material and receive a printed cookbook within 5 business days. the project involved developing a recipe DTD, converting the recipes from various hardcopy and electronic forms, building a web user interface linked in with an XML database, and developing the XSLT-driven output transformations.

• Comparative Bible reading: Timed to release simultaneously with Mel Gibson's Passion movie, developed a web-based application allowing readers to see how Matthew, Mark, Luke and John narrated the events of the Passion, Crucifixion and Resurrection. The application utilized an index of the main events to generate a 4-column parallel version to show the presentation of each event in each of the Gospels. Readers were allowed to pick the translation desired (multiple English- and Spanish-language versions were made available) and the particular events desired. A web presentation was developed that could then be downloaded as a PDF or requested as a print-on-demand edition. (ABS1)
• Multiple language Scripture tool (diglot): Developed a web-based application allowing a reader to simultaneously view two translations of the Bible in either HTML or PDF, and then order a custom printed and bound version for delivery to their home for offline use. The project used XML and XSLT technology on generally available translations of the Bible existing in OSIS 2.1 markup. (ABS2)
