Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for creating two or more XML documents for publishing using an object dependency graph, the method comprising: defining a first XML document and a second XML document based upon one or more reusable content objects, whereby at least one of the content objects includes at least one object dependency graph that identifies content object dependency across the first XML document and the second XML document using one or more edges denoting relationships between one or more of the content objects so as to provide synchronization of the content objects across the first XML document and the second XML document; building the first XML document so as to form a self-contained accumulation of the one or more content objects in accordance with the object dependency graph; building the second XML document so as to form a self-contained accumulation of the one or more content objects in accordance with the object dependency graph; and in response to a value of the content objects being modified, a change is made across one or more output pages concurrently by automatically invoking an XSL transformation engine to transform the first XML document and the second XML document so as to produce the output pages.
