Computing Dictionary
single sourcing definition
publication Using a single original document set to generate
dead tree and on-line
documentation, and usually also on-line help. In practice, it most often refers to a
FrameMaker file set with
conditional text which, when the conditions are set appropriately, allows you to create variants of the original document (e.g., for a product that runs on different
Unix platforms) as well as for different media -- typically task-oriented on-line help to be accessed under
Microsoft Windows or from a
web browser, linear printed document, and
HTML delivered via the
WWW and/or
CD-ROM.
