Software Saturday: Developing for XML/DITA

Presented by: Bernard Aschwanden

XML-based Darwin Information Type Architecture (DITA) content can be developed to work with various software tools including Adobe FrameMaker, JustSystems XMetaL Author, and other tools. However, to develop this content, changes must be made to your workflow.

* Detailed overview of the most commonly used DITA elements
* Extensive slides with background information for all writers
* ROI information for presentation to management

Intended Audience: Users planning to migrate to either structured authoring and/or DITA.
