Current ASCSA Publications Goals I

Simultaneously Launch Print and Digital Editions of the journal and monographs (or better yet, launch pre-print while the print edition is at press)

Educate ASCSA authors to think digitally when preparing publications plans and manuscripts (we should publish data sets – or links to these – along with articles and monographs)

Move to XML workflow to repurpose data for various uses, users, and media (2012-2013)

Current ASCSA Publications Goals II

LINK LINK LINK LINK LINK LINK LINK LINK:

Begin linking to Pleiades, WorldCat, and data on ascsa.net

YOUR To-Do List: Build Tools

Build What You Love to Help Publications (and Their Publishers) More Easily and Readily Link to Archaeological Data(BWYLTHPATPMEARLTAD):

1. Dynamic Online Realtime Citations (DORC)2. Auto Inventory Number Tracker (AINT)3. Prebuilt Organizational Resource Crawler

(PORC)4. Mapping Utility for Major Fundamental Ordered

Research Documents (MUMFORD)

Etc. (ETC)

Linking from ASCSA Publications to:Thinking Outside the Book:

New workflow to generate XML for print publications, Epub, Epub3, apps, websites, etc., and to return data back to the publishing excavation

Repurpose content for mobile devices to create the ultimate non-linear publication integrating text, linked data, multimedia, and GPS
