California Digital Library and University of California Press are pleased to announce their partnership with Collaborative Knowledge Foundation to develop Editoria, a new open source, digital-first book production platform.
Through the support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, CDL and UCP have launched a project to create an open source platform for content and workflow management of book-length works. The goal of the project is to build a shared resource for presses and library publishers to automate book production in multiple formats using an adaptable, web-based production workflow system.
CKF, UCP and CDL are taking a cooperative approach to product design and development and will be setting up a site to make this methodology available to the public in the coming weeks. The Editoria project will continue through 2016 with a launch in early 2017.
