The Publisher has a large role, because the cost of publishing is high. The Editor and Engraver are specialists, and different people than the writer. The Writer is not concerned with appearance and font choice. For example, in a printed magazine it's likely that there would be a clear distinction between the roles of Writer (think composer), Editor, Engraver, and Publisher. In the use cases below, users playing roles are typically represented by short capitalized abbreviations as shown above, sometimes followed by a distinguishing number.Ī lesson from other media types is, as the media moves from paper publishing to electronic publishing, people can starting taking on roles they would before have left to a specialist, people can take on more and more roles, and publishing can be done on a smaller scale and with smaller, more frequent cycles than before. They are roles, not distinct people: a single person can occupy multiple roles in the same use case. The following roles are not clearly defined yet, but can help us begin collecting use cases based on an intuitive understanding of the terms. These are musical roles assumed by someone using music notation. 4.2 Representation, Rendering and Editing.4.1 Completeness, Consistency and Ambiguity.3.4 Meta-Notation: Classes of Possible Notation Types.3.1 Proposal: Core Types, Other Types And Extension Points.2.8 Development using Web, Epub and App Technologies.
