Already in 1992, for example, VIVA invented the principle of the separation of form and function for layout programs. Today millions of people work according to this principle, which has been taken over by all current layout programs. Through its inventions and developments, VIVA has contributed significantly to the advance in the graphics software industry like “Database Publishing” (1989) which is a registered trademark of VIVA GmbH.

Today the term “Web-to-Print” is used extensively, which however presents just a fraction of the application in the sense of “Network Publishing”.
