Title

A title is a collection of publications of a specific newspaper or magazine ordered by publication date.

Imagine your newspaper as a concept. When you think of your newspaper regardless of specific print editions, then you are thinking of what Prenly calls a title.

You can stack-pile publications of your newspaper in a box. The publications you choose to add to this box is your collection. The box you added your publications to is Prenly. The collection of publications are your entire body of published digitalised publications made available for your readers. And thus, your chosen publications are what constitutes your title within Prenly.

Publication

A publication is a single digitalised print edition of your newspaper or magazine.

The print edition with the publication date of, e.g., January first of the year 2000 is called a publication within Prenly. Any separate publication dates are considered to be a publication.

More detailed, a publication within Prenly is a collection of digitalised versions of the physical newspaper spread pages and/or associated simplified content of said spread pages. Or, just digitally written articles.

Section

An article section is a category it belongs to.

The article section usually corresponds to the section from the replica article it represents, where examples are opinions, editorials, or chronicles, or just the overall-broad-section news.

Replica

The digitalised version of the physical newspaper spread-page as a whole is known as the replica in Prenly.

Imagine you're holding a physical newspaper in your hand. The cover page, the first spread (containing page two and three), the second spread, and onwards. Now imagine the same, but the pages are now digitalised. This is what Prenly refers to by replica.

Article

The simplified content of a replica article, or a digital article if not associated with a replica article.

Imagine you're reading an editorial article within the newspaper. The article will be type-set with the newspaper's stylistic font and layout. Imagine if you could "lift" that specific article into a display where you could have just that article and strip away the newspaper's layout. That is what the article is within Prenly. The article is the texts and images from the article within the newspaper without the stylistic information.
