Abstract
Much confusion exists about what is meant by 'electronic publishing'. Practitioners in the emerging information industry regard it as a description of the means of delivery. Publishers and printers, on the other hand, emphasise the use of com puters in organising information in a form in which it can be easily manipulated for both printed and electronic delivery. A gap in understanding is identified in the need for designing information products in a form independent of their ultimate form of delivery. Repackaging information in a number of forms offers hope for the future evolution of the publishing industry. A new generation of systems is envisaged which is capable of addressing the problems of databasing complex material such as mathematics and graphics.
