Producing Interactive Paper Documents based on Multi-Channel Content Publishing

Digital pen and paper technologies provide the basis for link-ing digital content and services to printed materials in the form of interactive paper publications. To realise the po-tential of these technologies, it is important to develop plat-forms and tools that can support the large-scale publishing of interactive paper documents. We show how an extensible content management system that was developed to support context-aware publishing was used for the production of in-teractive paper documents. The publishing process consists of two phases and requires one channel to support the pro-duction of the document together with cross-media link def-initions and a second channel to support interaction with the document. 1
