Atomic Reading StructureTM Module

Faster delivery of Technical Content

  • Reading reference manuals is different from reading novels. Novels are read linearly from cover to cover and reference manuals are read selectively.
  • Technical reading is precise. Specific pieces of information are selected to complete tasks or gain understanding.
  • Atomic Reading Structure (ARS™)  module stores content in the Adaptive Thin Object Model (ATOM™) record.  Each ATOM record contains a unique concept which can link to other ATOM records, vPub modules and data sources.

Four steps to transforming PDF into the Atomic Reading Structure module:

  • Extract sections as data elements.
  • Load each data element is into the Atomic Reading Structure module as an ATOM record.
