The process of creating content -- information meant for human consumption -- is typically effort-intensive. People must spend time organizing information prior to creation, constructing the content, and laying out the information so that it is easily read. With so much time, cost, and effort invested in content, it makes sense to reduce costs by reusing content as much as possible. The critical step to moving towards an architecture that supports content reuse is the creation of fine-grained content components that can then be combined to form coarse-grained documents in a service-oriented fashion.Adding value to the content creation, management, and publishing pieces of the content lifecycle, Document Sciences provides a comprehensive content processing solution framework called xPression that helps enterprises optimize their content lifecycle processes in order to better communicate. The product facilitates reuse by taking the service-oriented vision of content to heart.
