Resumen
The article outlines some of the fundamental issues connected with the addition of value to electronic publications. It will be increasingly important for successful publishers to add value to publications over and above the original content. While the term electronic publishing takes on a variety of different meanings in different settings, one core principle holds true across all domains, electronic publication involves the distribution of digital documents. In its simplest form, electronic publishing may amount to little more than a porting of printed information over to the digital networks via scanning, OCR technology and so forth. However, electronic publishing will redefine itself in the light of available computer and network technologies. Electronic publishing will evolve as developers and researchers are inspired to take more extensive advantage of computing and network technology and slowly but inexorably move away from the notion that the paramount value of a document is its content.
