New York, NY, March 11, 2003 – Paraview Publishing, a publisher of
streaming video, print-on-demand and eBooks for body, mind and spirit audiences,
and Publishing Dimensions, a leading content conversion and publishing
consultancy, today announced their agreement to implement Digital Object
Identifiers (DOI) to aid in online marketing of Paraview Publishing titles.
“We’re looking forward to utilizing DOI technology to increase the presence of
our books and authors on the web. DOI technology enables us in an effortless
manner to provide contextual and purchase information on our titles on the
Internet. This will add to the experience of readers interested in obtaining
more information than just title and price,” stated Alexander Dake, CEO of
Paraview Publishing. “Implementing DOIs using Publishing Dimensions’ consulting
services makes complete sense, since they are already handling the conversion
and distribution of our titles. Publishing Dimensions’ recently announced
partnership with Content Directions just adds to capabilities we’ve come to rely
on to make all of the pieces fit and flow together nicely.” For a live example
of a DOI applied to a Paraview title, Mysterious America, by Loren Coleman,

"It is a pleasure to partner with Publishing Dimensions and by extension
Paraview Publishing,” said David Sidman, CEO of Content Directions. "It’s
terrific to see interest in the DOI growing in many different sectors of
publishing and to see how small publishers are recognizing how they can benefit
from the use of DOIs to promote their authors and titles.”
According to Ken Brooks, President of Publishing Dimensions, “Assigning a DOI to
a piece of content is a natural fit with Publishing Dimensions’ conversion
offering. Paraview Publishing will be able to more effectively market their
titles and increase the presence of their authors on the web. We’re particularly
excited about the use of DOIs to promote additional sales to interested
audiences.”
Publishing Dimensions,
established in the Fall of 1999, handles content conversion for all sectors of
the publishing community. Seeing a need for small publishers to get involved in
the digital community, Publishing Dimensions established Quiet Island Books to
handle distribution of titles through the major eBook and print-on-demand
wholesale and retail channels. In addition to conversion and distribution
solutions, Publishing Dimensions offers a range of consulting services to the
publishing industry.
