Michael Mueller

Hello,
Allow me to briefly introduce myself – I am Michael Müller, a German travel book publisher and author. My titles, published by my eponymous publishing house, enjoy a high reputation in German-speaking countries. For several years now, we have also been developing the travel guide app mmtravel (iOS/Android).
In order to build such an app with e-books, it is necessary to store the texts with semantic information.
To do this, we worked with LibreOffice developer Lásló Németh to make the Resource Description Framework usable in LibreOffice.
For a systematic workflow for print and app production, I am looking for a way to use these RDF-enriched LO files in InDesign for print output, with an equally powerful export function so that authors can use the latest production status for a new edition.
For Scribus, there is a LibreOffice import filter developed by Petr Vaněk. Perhaps there is a former developer who can help us estimate the development effort required?
In the case of InDesign and LibreOffice, the format to be supported would be IDML.
