Abstract:


    Digital publications are a reality. High-resolution workstation displays and low cost mass storage systems create an electronic reading environment that exceeds the capabilities of traditional printed publications. Digital publications include text, line art, still images, and also include sound, video sequences and animations. 

    However, while the opportunities for digital publication are great, there are many associated problems. This panel addresses the current status of digital publications, its opportunities, problems (such as lack of standards), centralized document database development, documents to workstation distribution, and appropriate user interfaces.
