Who should attend?

This conference is designed for those who are interested in implementing XML, DITA, or learning more about this new standard for topic-based authoring.

If you develop, produce, and deliver technical information today, you know that "content is everything." You also know that you have to keep costs under control and provide new solutions that deliver content in multiple ways to your customers. You've thought about "chunking" your content into smaller, reusable topics, but you don't know how to get started.

Information Typing—DITA was designed for technical information based on a core set of information types: concept, task, and reference.

Architecture—DITA provides a framework for designing and delivering technical content efficiently.

Using DITA means working with the new international OASIS/XML standard for topic-based authoring of well structured content. Out of the box, DITA provides you with a structure amenable to most technical information. And it provides you with a mechanism for extending the structure to meet your industry's needs.
