【End】【Seminar】"Using DITA - Key Points for Implementation, Production, and Operation" (Held on 3/17)

※This seminar has ended.

On Thursday, March 17, 2016, we will be holding the first DITA seminar "Utilizing DITA - Key Points for Implementation, Production, and Operation".


Recently, technologies such as content reuse and automated typesetting have been gaining attention from the perspective of cost-effective document creation and efficient document management and operation. In particular, DITA, which is an architecture compliant with XML, has been widely adopted in Europe and the United States, and the number of companies introducing it in Japan is increasing year by year.


However, the history of DITA in Japan is still relatively short, and the knowledge and experience of implementing and using DITA has not yet spread to the general public. As a result, there are situations where the benefits of implementing DITA cannot be determined, or where it has been implemented but not effectively utilized.


Our company has been working on consulting and creating DITA documents, as well as conducting research and information exchange in the Localization Group of DITA Consortium Japan, and presenting at DITA Festa, accumulating knowledge and experience at the forefront of DITA.


In this seminar, we will discuss "How to Utilize DITA - Key Points for Implementation, Production, and Operation" and address issues such as "What are the common mistakes made with DITA?" and "What are effective methods to avoid these mistakes?" We will also share examples from our past experiences to help you better understand. We look forward to welcoming all those interested in DITA.


In addition, this time it is a joint event with SDL Japan.

We will introduce DITA from the perspective of CCMS vendors, focusing on "SDL LiveContent Architect", which is the most popular CCMS system in the world and essential for managing and operating DITA.
