Introduction to Titania Delivery
Titania Delivery is a content delivery system. Its purpose is to deliver completed publications to different audiences simply, quickly, and easily.
Titania Delivery enables Organizations to simplify content delivery by providing a secure, hosted content Portal of approved content topics and pre-built publications. With automated uploads of approved content, you can ensure your customers always have access to the most up-to-date information from any computer or smart device. In addition, the self-service content Portal allows your customers to search for content topics and pre-built publications, assemble collections of information, and publish on-demand individual topics or collections to create personalized publications.
Titania Delivery is a cloud based solution. This means there is no software to install and no system maintenance required. In addition, the Titania Delivery Portal application has several advanced features, which includes content assembly. This enables customers to build their own custom publications using the topics available through their portal. Another feature of the Delivery Portal is review and feedback. Users can provide Feedback on the Portal content using a simple web-based interface that enables them to highlight and comment on any part of the content. This includes words, phrases, paragraphs, or the whole topic. Finally, when you distribute XML based content using Titania Delivery, a pre-publishing step is not required. You simply upload the XML Source directly and Titania Delivery takes care of the rest.
Primary Concepts
- Projects
-
A Project is a container where the content owner places the content they want to distribute. You can think of a Project as a virtual file system containing your files, organized into folders.
Content can be uploaded manually through the administrative web application, automatically via Sync Services, or the Titania Delivery content upload SDK. A Portal's content can be shared through any number of Portals. Projects have access control rules defining the users who have access to various content and delivery management functions within a Portal.
- Portals
- A Portal is a content delivery channel. Think of a Portal like its own website targeted at an individual audience. A Portal can pull its content from one or more Projects and filter that content using Metadata rules.
- Portal Themes
- A Portal Theme allows you to control every aspect of the appearance of a Portal, from the HTML and CSS of the web pages themselves to the stylesheets used to convert XML content into viewable HTML.
- Organizations
- An Organization is a list of users that act as a unit for purposes of content delivery management. An Organization has ownership of its own Projects and Portals, and can also be added to Projects owned by other users or Organizations.
- Document Types
- A Document Type is a special kind of Project that contains the XML grammar definition files – DTDs and XML Schemas – that are used to parse XML content.
- Metadata
- Metadata provides information about the content; think of it as properties you can customize for single or multiple files. These values set on your files can be used in multiple ways to enhance the delivery of your content. See Empowering your Content Delivery with Metadata for additional details.
- Titania Sync
- Titania Sync ™ is an optional component that can be used to synchronize content from your content management system into Delivery Projects automatically based on life cycle or workflow triggers.
