Based in the Rochester Institute of Technology’s School of Print Media, the Open Publishing Lab (OPL) is a cross-disciplinary center that focuses on researching new methods of content creation and developing innovative applications to publish across various media.
Wikis are multiuser, database driven, Web content management systems. Countless knowledge repositories across the web and within company intranets are powered by wiki software. Currently there is no efficient solution to convert sections of wiki content into portable documents. The OPL has developed a prototype application for converting select wiki content into documents that could be driven to a wide range of output devices. With this application users are able to output individually selected content from a wiki repository and produce a finished PDF for publication across multiple channels.
