Import content to XLibris

Open Content is used to power the XLibris Archive. When importing content to an Open Content based archive you have two main options:

• Convert and migrate all your content items to the Content NewsML format used by all Naviga Creation and Presentation tools. Of course, binary artefacts are more or less just copied to the OC Storage, but all meta data files, articles, meta data etc needs to be migrated. Depending of the quality and format used in your old content that can be a really massive work, or not. Contact us to discuss the scope of your migration. The benefit of doing so is that your content is more future proof, streamlined to one, well known format. Content items can more easily be reused. Standard configuration can be used.

• The other option is more like a "copy" of the content to the OC Storage, and then create a configuration that adapts to your content. You still need your articles and meta data side car files in XML format. If you don't have that you need to migrate your content anyway. The advantage with this model is lower migration costs. On the other side, you'll have a more complex, customised configuration. Your content is still in the original format. You'll not be able to reuse content items in the same easy way as form migrated content.

Consult us to discuss what's best in your specific case.
