ABSTRACT

The presentation will give an technical overview of the Job Definition Format (JDF), particularly the internal structure of this interchange data format that is based on XML. JDF is a new standard for the whole print industry driven by the CIP4 consortium. JDF covers the horizontal workflow from the product definition over production to the delivery as well as the vertical communication in means of connecting production services with Management Information Systems (MIS).
