SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A DIGITAL EDITION

摘要

A system and method to concurrently preview or publish a digital edition. The system comprises a compilation database and an assembler system. The assembler system includes: a receiving module to receive page edition data; a verification module to identify pages edited or created since a last successful compilation; a parser to determine whether the pages edited or created since the last successful compilation are error-free or error-generating pages and to generate replacement parsed page data or parsed page data accordingly; and a compiler. The compiler is configured to: compile the parsed page data and generate compiled page data for each of the pages edited or created since the last successful compilation; combine the compiled page data of the pages edited or created since the last successful compilation with compiled page data stored in the compilation database for unmodified pages; and generate compiled edition data.

1. A system to concurrently preview or publish a digital edition readable by a dedicated software application running on a communication device, while some of the pages of the digital edition are being edited, the system comprising:
a compilation database being configured to store compiled page data of pages of the digital edition; and an assembler system including:
a receiving module being configured to receive page edition data representative of pages of the digital edition;a verification module being configured to identify pages edited or created since a last successful compilation;a parser being configured to determine whether the pages edited or created since the last successful compilation are error-free or error-generating pages, the parser being configured to generate replacement parsed page data for each one of the error-generating pages and parsed page data for each one of the error-free pages;a compiler being configured to:
compile the parsed page data from the error-generating pages and the error-free pages and generate compiled page data for each of the pages edited or created since the last successful compilation;combine the compiled page data of the pages edited or created since the last successful compilation with compiled page data stored in the compilation database for unmodified pages; andgenerate compiled edition data including the compiled page data of the pages of the digital edition, the compiled edition data being readable by the dedicated software application running on the communication device.
