About the presentation

Creating content is a process that involves multiple people with various skills— technical writers, technicians, and product owners. With structured content and topic-based writing, the technical writer can both accelerate the processes and reduce the workload for the other participants.

Designed to handle DITA-compliant content, IXIASOFT CCMS binds together topic-based writing, enables co-content creation, and object and process handling. But how would that look like in your daily job as a technical writer?

This presentation will show several scenarios in which a technical writer creates content, composes, reviews, and generates outputs in the content creation process.

Using Metadata to Deliver Findable Content 

This webinar aired on:

Thursday, December 5th, 2019

Episode 11

The best content in the world is no good if users can’t find it. If an answer is buried in an avalanche of content, it might as well not be there at all. How can you make sure your customers find the answers they need? This episode of IXIAtalks will help you understand how to leverage metadata to make your content searchable and findable, and how to use that same metadata to create a personalized customer experience (CX).

In this episode, Megan Gilhooly of Zoomin and Leigh White of IXIASOFT team up to explain how you can start by designing the optimum content search experience you’d like your customers to have. They will present examples of good and not-so-good taxonomies, and explain what makes them good or not. They will talk about the difference between marketing taxonomies and technical publication taxonomies, and give some tips on planning your taxonomy. The duo will also present methods for personalizing the CX using search weighting.

To make things a bit more concrete, Megan and Leigh will present one example of taxonomy development in the IXIASOFT CCMS and how Zoomin can then leverage that taxonomy metadata to create a faceted search. They will also show how to manage multiple content versions in a taxonomy and control updates.

Presentation abstract

DITA is designed to help writers produce consistent, easy-to-find, easy-to-consume content that is directly tailored to the user’s needs. This talk clarifies the best practices that are baked into the DITA standard: modularity, topic typing, mechanisms for reuse and conditions, single source, specialization…and how these principles impact the way writers design and create content. Technical writers and managers who are new to structured content and DITA will learn how it works in practice. The talk is in a show-and-tell format, and examples include migration samples to DITA “live.”

What can attendees expect to learn?

This presentation highlights the fundamental best practices that are baked into the DITA standard: topic-based modularized content, hazard formatting, topic types, instructions structures, linking them back to ISO standards and other best practices.

The audience should come out of the presentation able to articulate the benefits when designing modular structured standard content and break down those benefits into singular best practices or methods.

DITA Worst Practices: The Sequel

Date: October 29, 2019
Time: 3:15-4:15 pm

Meet the Presenter

Keith is IXISOFT’s Senior DITA Content Strategist. Keith is also an award-winning lecturer on Information Architecture at the University of Toronto’s School for Continuing Education. He is the Chair of the OASIS DITA Adoption Committee, and regularly presents at conferences, works with customers. Keith continuously researches how DITA is being used and then shares those results with the community. Keith’s popular industry blog DITAWriter.com has become a focal point on DITA resources.

Presentation Abstract

This presentation is designed as an instructive and funny lesson on what not to do when implementing DITA within a documentation team. The original DITA Worst Practices was very popular at Lavacon 2017, and has proven to resonate with many DITA technical writers and managers who either saw it at Lavacon or in subsequent webinars. Since then, Keith has found new stories that will both entertain and horrify (from a DITA perspective) listeners. ‘I hope that some of these stories will strike a chord with people who may find themselves in similar situations, and give them enough information to change course before they become a “worst practice” story themselves.’

IXIASOFT is proud to be a platinum sponsor at LavaCon 2019.

How to Channel the Knowledge of Technical Experts into Perfectly Crafted Content

This webinar aired on:

Thursday, October 24th, 2019

Episode 10

Subject matter experts (SMEs) are increasingly being asked to contribute more content directly for product documentation. But SMEs are not technical writers. Their work often needs to be corrected for style, terminology usage, and to ensure the message reflects the company brand. What is the solution to this perennial problem?

Join Keith Schengili-Roberts (IXIASOFT) and Philipp Baur (Congree), to discuss why SMEs are increasingly being asked to contribute directly to technical documentation, the typical issues they encounter, and how they can be overcome using an electronic style guide with linguistic intelligence within the IXIASOFT CCMS.

Schematron and Schematron QuickFix (SQF) languages can be used to improve efficiency and quality when editing DITA documents. You can define actions that will add complex structure in your documents, or make modifications in multiple places, or actions that will convert a structure into another. These changes are made by keeping the document structure valid and conforming to your project specification, and will help the content writer add content more easily and without making mistakes.

As the informational response to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Information 4.0 intends to do just that.

By now it’s well known you can obtain useful DITA production metrics.
But measuring reuse in particular is tricky, since there are many ways to measure it.

Do you measure reused topics between incremental versions of the same document or not? If a bookmap shares the same map as another, do you count the map along with all of its topics? And what about images—would you consider using your company logo and an illustration of a part for a product to be equivalent instances of reuse?

This co-presentation by IXIASOFT Senior DITA Content Strategist Keith Schengili-Roberts and Ericsson’s Information Architect Sari Eklund explores the creation, rationale and use of two separate but complementary DITA metrics that focus on content reuse.

Demonstrating Reuse Payoffs

Presented by Sharon Figueira, IXIASOFT pre-sales consultant & Keith Schengili-Roberts, IXIASOFT market researcher and DITA evangelist.

Date: Tuesday, January 22
Time: 12:00 PM –1:00 PM Pacific Time

Reuse is the gateway to efficient, controlled, quality content which is easy to maintain and fast to update. It’s so obvious to the information professional and yet so difficult to engage management and get their support, especially in organizations where tech pubs are barely visible (unless there is a problem of course…).

What can attendees expect to learn?

This presentation discusses the key factors that command VP attention, how to engage successfully with management, and how to demonstrate the big pay-offs your team can deliver with a reuse strategy to convince budget holders. The presentation will include some tools that you can use to build a business case to sell content reuse to your management team.
