Part I - Advertising and Video Specifications: ADAM and EVE

November 20, 2012
Our two-part series begins with an introduction to those new to IDEAlliance from the United States and Europe on what is "eMedia" and why these specifications are essential to those involved in digital media production. We then focus on the ADAM Guidelines and Specifications, where attendees will learn how IDEAlliance is helping the industry find efficiencies and foster automation in print and tablet advertising workflows.

ADAM is seeking to define standard print ad portal interfaces, JSON–based ad submission and a standard industry nomenclature that can serve as the basis for developing ad specifications for tablets. The use of video to enhance print publications for delivery on tablets and other digital platforms has had a significant impact on production workflows.  In response to this call for action, IDEAlliance has launched the EVE (Enabling Video Enhancement) Working Group.  The goal of this group is to remove points of friction and redundancy in video production workflows while maximizing video quality and flexibility in distributing videos across a wide variety of tablet and smart phone platforms. Learn how you can save time and money by employing best practices coming from this important initiative.

Part II - Dynamic Publishing Specifications: PRISM and PSV

November 27, 2012
In this 90-minute session you will get a close up view of what PRISM has to offer, the PSV framework and how PSV can be leveraged to build future-proofed publishing systems for tomorrow. 

Back in the late 1990’s publishers began to imagine a new publishing landscape where print remained a cornerstone but new digital publishing platforms would gain dominance.  Long before the iPad became a reality, publishers understood that digital content and asset management, based on metadata schemas would provide the magic required to transform the publishing industry.  In this session learn more about how the PRISM (Publishing Requirements for Industry Standard Metadata) Initiative was launched, and how it has evolved to provide not only a foundation for DAM and CMS Systems but has become the model for migrating toward a dynamic publishing architecture.
