Technical communicators have been recombining small chunks of text to create multiple deliverables for years. But, as consumer expectations shift away from text-only content and toward video training and documentation, shouldn\'t we be creating and delivering multiple video deliverables? And, if video documentation is the wave of the future, can we use our existing content standards to make it happen? The answer is "Yes!" Attend this presentation to learn how one organization is creating and repurposing small video segments to create multiple video documentation sets using the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA).]]>

This presentation will throw a spotlight onto the single most common, and most serious, reason why Content Management projects fail. In a nutshell, too many projects become so focused on the technology they want to deploy that they forget about what matters most - the content and the people who use it. Real-life case studies will be used to illustrate this problem. The optimism of the audience will be rebuilt by introducing a proven solution to this issue with this being a call to move the focus of CM project towards Content Oriented Architectures. The most common mistake found in content management projects is rather surprising. The reason most CM projects falter is that the project team, and frequently its stakeholders, become unduly enamored with some piece of technology and assume, or hope, that one or two applications will erase all of the challenges surrounding the creation, management, reuse and delivery of content. When a particular collection of applications fail to deliver on the expectations, the usual response is to insert even more applications. With each new application that is introduced, a number of connectors and patches are also added so that one tool can work with the others that are already in place. This continues until, with seeming inevitability, these projects crumble under the weight of growing system complexity. These projects fail, in short, because, in becoming fixated on technology, they essentially forget about their content. This presentation will use a number of project cases studies, some older and some exceedingly current, to illustrate the downward path that most CM projects follow. While this might sound ominous, this journey will actually arrive at a hopeful conclusion. If CM projects place content at the center of their solution designs, adopting in effect a Content Oriented Architecture (COA), it becomes possible for projects to use technology, even exploit it, in ways that emphasize helping authors, publishers and content users. Under this model, the quality and usefulness of the content assets becomes the overriding focus and where automation is introduced it is to either further improve the quality of the content or to reduce the cost and effort needed to achieve the desired results. Examples of successful projects will be used to prove that Content Oriented Architectures are not really new and that they do deliver results that endure over time. ]]>

This presentation will use a number of project cases studies, some older and some exceedingly current, to illustrate the downward path that most CM projects follow. While this might sound ominous, this journey will actually arrive at a hopeful conclusion. If CM projects place content at the center of their solution designs, adopting in effect a Content Oriented Architecture (COA), it becomes possible for projects to use technology, even exploit it, in ways that emphasize helping authors, publishers and content users. Under this model, the quality and usefulness of the content assets becomes the overriding focus and where automation is introduced it is to either further improve the quality of the content or to reduce the cost and effort needed to achieve the desired results. Examples of successful projects will be used to prove that Content Oriented Architectures are not really new and that they do deliver results that endure over time.

Presented by Joe Gollner at Documentation and Training East, October The most common mistake found in content management projects is rather surprising. The reason most CM projects falter is that the project team, and frequently its stakeholders, become unduly enamored with some piece of technology and assume, or hope, that one or two applications will erase all of the challenges surrounding the creation, management, reuse and delivery of content. When a particular collection of applications fail to deliver on the expectations, the usual response is to insert even more applications. With each new application that is introduced, a number of connectors and patches are also added so that one tool can work with the others that are already in place. This continues until, with seeming inevitability, these projects crumble under the weight of growing system complexity. These projects fail, in short, because, in becoming fixated on technology, they essentially forget about their content.

0 Sustainable XML for Publishing Applications: DITA Makes It Possible /slideshow/sustainable-xml-for-publishing-applications-dita-makes-it-possible/705477 sustainable-xml-for-publishing-applications-dita-makes-it-possible-4943
Presented by Eliot Kimber at Documentation and Training East 2008, October 29-November 1, 2008 in Burlington, MA. XML applications for publishers have largely failed to realize the full potential inherent in the technology. While larger publishers could make the investment necessary to realize significant return on the use of XML technology, smaller enterprises simply could not, for a number of reasons, but fundamentally because the startup costs and ongoing costs of ownership were simply too high. The DITA standard fundamentally changes the equation, bringing several unique features that, together, serve to lower both the startup cost and ongoing costs, making the use of XML for publishers much more affordable than it ever has before. At the same time, advances in supporting technologies important to Publishers, such as improved support for XML in Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office, powerful new XML search and retrieval systems such as MarkLogic, and a new generation of lower- cost XML editors, as serve to make the use of XML for Publishing applications more attractive than it ever has been before. ]]>

XML applications for publishers have largely failed to realize the full potential inherent in the technology. While larger publishers could make the investment necessary to realize significant return on the use of XML technology, smaller enterprises simply could not, for a number of reasons, but fundamentally because the startup costs and ongoing costs of ownership were simply too high. The DITA standard fundamentally changes the equation, bringing several unique features that, together, serve to lower both the startup cost and ongoing costs, making the use of XML for publishers much more affordable than it ever has before. At the same time, advances in supporting technologies important to Publishers, such as improved support for XML in Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office, powerful new XML search and retrieval systems such as MarkLogic, and a new generation of lower- cost XML editors, as serve to make the use of XML for Publishing applications more attractive than it ever has been before. ]]> Thu, 30 Oct 2008 07:24:28 GMT /slideshow/sustainable-xml-for-publishing-applications-dita-makes-it-possible/705477 thecontentwrangler@slideshare.net(thecontentwrangler) Sustainable XML for Publishing Applications: DITA Makes It Possible thecontentwrangler Presented by Eliot Kimber at Documentation and Training East 2008, October 29-November 1, 2008 in Burlington, MA.
