UC_PM_EX_01 Export items

The user initiates the export for specific versions of one or more items. The export formats are divided into two types: layout format and structured format. A layout format focuses on the layout and presentation of the item data and produces one citation style. Such export formats support different export file formats, e.g. pdf or html. A structured format focuses on the export of item data in a format that can be interpreted and processed by other systems. A structured format supports only one export file format.
