Abstract
The system and method for collecting and converting documents sets and related metadata accepts a file or set of files that represent the content of a work and collects and manages metadata associated with that work. The system then automatically converts the work into a variety of different output formats, including embedding or attaching necessary metadata, and distributes it to other internal or external organizations (like wholesalers or retailers) along with any further metadata required by the recipient organization.
