Full-On DITA Strategies Beyond Technical Publications

DITA has the potential to add tremendous utility to high-value content for the enterprise.

This means not putting the technology cart before the horse.

This session will take a brief look back at exploratory work conducted by the Business Documents Subcommittee of the DITA TC and how tools and methods have evolved since. We will examine the value of useful semantic markup and models for the enterprise and talk about several DITA projects involving non-traditional users and audiences.
