Publishing Architecture
The ETIS publishing ecosystem now distinguishes:
- ETIS Framework Reference Work — comprehensive ETIS doctrine and full-lifecycle treatment.
- ETIS Two-Volume Professional Edition — two-volume publishing form of the integrated Framework Reference Work.
- ETIS Professional Computing Series — sustained professional-computing works aligned with ETIS.
- ETIS Publications Program — focused, citable White Papers, Executive Briefs, and Education Papers.
Validation
The website and repository documentation were reviewed for navigation consistency, MkDocs link behavior, publishing terminology, and cross-site alignment.
This release represents a publishing-architecture expansion rather than a new edition of the ETIS Framework doctrine.
