Goodbye documents, hello objects!Documents represent the old world: the time of paper, when we structured what we wrote around the assumption that the text would end up printed on a sheet of paper, in a paper brochure, or in a book. Now we create objects: thousands of individual units of information, to be assembled on the fly, to serve our users in many different ways. What does this change mean to us as writers, managers, and creators of content? |
