One stop shop to new publishing platforms
Progressive Publishing System (PPS) API
The API gives easy access to the new electronic book publishing platforms (POD, eBooks, iPhone, iPads/tablets, mobiles and Apps) and associated revenues. Currently most of the platforms are off limits due to conversion costs.
A starting place for the project is to have publishers apply Dublin Core classifications and XML markup of their content, within their existing CMS. Lastly to connect to Amazon Pro Merchant accounts to sell publications.
Inspired by The British Museums http://finds.org.uk/ use of Yahoo YQL we think that exciting, low cost and easy to adopt speedy publishing, remixing, distribution, syndication opportunities will be made available.
The project is a strand of Mute Publishing's advocacy of an ArtAPI, the second strand is video to IPTV.
