Abstract:

Is your content ready to meet the biggest challenge? Are you able to provide your customers with detailed information designed specifically for them and in the media they choose? Can you do this on demand?

If not, then join us as we talk about how you can transform your existing content strategies to a component based content strategy. It isn’t just content you need to think of, but the components of content.

Creating a strategy at this level allows for a great deal more fluidity in providing dynamic information across the entire enterprise. You can establish the infrastructure to be able to provide customized output based on user preference or media demand such as the social media sites. There is a significant ROI you can capture, especially in terms of customer service.

Can your rendering engine handle it?

If you have Arbortext the answer is definitely YES!

The DITA Keyref feature (in Arbortext 6.0)

STC Meeting/Podcast

“The DITA Keyref feature (in Arbortext 6.0)”

Liz Fraley, Single-Sourcing Solutions

6 October 2011, 5:30 PM Pacific/US

Audio to be posted by the East Bay STC

Single-Sourcing Solutions, the Arbortext Experts

Abstract:

The OASIS DITA standard began with IBM and it began in Arbortext. PTC/Arbortext was the only vendor invited to be a charter member of the Oasis DITA Technical Committee and participates on that committee today.

With the 5.4 release in 2010, Arbortext added support for DITA 1.2 which introduced the “keyref” feature which provides a powerful indirect addressing mechanism as well as the possibility for sophisticated conditional profiling/processing of content.

As Kristen Eberlein, co-chair, OASIS DITA Technical Committee at OASIS, wrote, “Attribute-based conditional processing is a powerful feature that enables content reuse, but in a large set of documents, content can become difficult to maintain due to the number of variables. The use of keys greatly simplifies authoring and production of conditional content.”

Indeed. Keyref is a significant improvement in working with and processing DITA content. In this presentation, we will explore the capabilities of the keyref feature in Arbortext.

Who should come? Anyone interested in moving to DITA now or in the future, anyone who has already begun that transition but is looking for a better way, and anyone who is just plain curious.
