PubMan™: XML Content Management for Scholarly Works

Effectively managing a wealth of digital information requires a centralized data store, or Content Management System (CMS ) that fulfills several needs:

  • Centralized, secure and redundant storage of large document sets
  • Controlled access to resources via user permissions controls
  • Tracking and management of all document versions
  • Tools for organizing content sets (such as publications, derivative publications, etc.)
  • Tracking and management of document links
  • The ability to query some or all of the content effectively and in a precise fashion
  • The ability to cull reports on document sets
  • The ability to publish in a variety of formats in automated fashion
  • Assignment and tracking of workflow tasks

The cornerstone of our content management solutions is our own PubMan™ software, a web-based Content Management System that stores, organizes, and provides access to document collections and related resources. PubMan™ allows users and administrators to manage, view, edit, search, extract, and generate reports on the content it houses. PubMan™ also performs job management (workflow), messaging, advanced querying, and customized reporting. Descriptions and details of all major features and functions are found in the PubMan™ User Guide .

There are two versions of PubMan™ available: Enterprise and Streamline. Enterprise is for clients with a larger scale storage and user needs, and Streamline is well suited for projects smaller in scope or in number of users. Both versions are provided as a Web Service. This means there is no software to install (other than a browser), and no infrastructure or IT support is required. dataformat.com takes care of all hosting infrastructure. Pricing and a product matrix are available here  (in pdf form).
