Information and publishing services provider Ingenta, UK, a division of Publishing Technology plc, has announced the launch of pub2web, its next-generation publications platform. Projected as a full-service feature-rich publishing system, it assembles a range of components into a scalable, extensible platform. Building on the technical architecture of research tool IngentaConnect, the system offers comprehensive customisation options to its clients.
Publishers can expect to benefit from fully-tailored graphical design, flexible information and content architecture, and an extensive suite of functionality that ranges from standard website navigation tools, to features that take advantage of evolving browser capabilities.
pub2web is also fully integrated with the company's Metastore, a data repository designed to support flexible content types, multiple search and browse options and semantic data mining. It goes beyond the restrictive infrastructure of paper journals to support innovative online business models, while greatly reducing content loading times, allowing content to be accessible online within minutes of upload. Meanwhile, the platform's search functionality offers enhanced indexing of author names, spell checking, additional sorting options and relevance rankings.
Launch clients for the new platform include the World Bank, which will deploy pub2web to upgrade its e-Library, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The OECD has selected pub2web to deliver the third generation of its online library, SourceOECD.
