XSLT for quality checking in the publication workflow

The challenge

• Take advantage of (expensive?!) XML data
  • Reward for XML authoring or early conversion (not only post-production)
• Maintain or improve quality of editorial work
• Provide quality checking early, before content is locked into its presentation(s)
  • Could be more than one presentation format
  • Only want to fix that error once for all output media
• Maintain and improve quality of all work done over your content
  • Search/retrieval, aggregation, analysis
  • “Bad data floats to the top”
