  • Publication number: 20170017618
    Abstract: A unified publishing platform (UPP) system is disclosed that may process electronic content to identify content data irrespective of the format of the electronic content. Content data may be separated from formatting to generate electronic content with different formats. The content data may be transformed to a format configured for display by one or more destinations. The UPP system may generate electronic content having a format using a template (e.g., a content workflow) selected by a user for displaying content. One or more attributes associated with the content data may be used to identify content data for placement in a layout using a template. The electronic content may be parsed to identify semantic data that identifies content data in the electronic content. The semantic data may be associated with one or more attributes. The attribute(s) may identify one or more content items in content data.
