Vancouver, BC, Canada, June 1, 2007 – Bluestream Database Software Corp., leader in XML content management and database technology, announced today an OEM partnership with RenderX, the recognized industry leader for software used for standards-based, typeset-quality electronic and print output of business content and technical publications.
At CGI in Calgary, CGI and 4 sponsor companies are developing a new software program for production accountants in the oil and gas business. Along with the software, the writing team is developing the Help system using the DITA framework. We store information and reusable text in DITA topics and generate Eclipse Help. We have found the benefits of using DITA over the Help authoring tool we were using (RoboHelp) include DITA's reuse capability, link control via relationship tables and the output control through ditamaps.
The goal of the subcommittee is one or more new information types for learning content, at the same level as the current three main types, concept, task, and reference, plus a new map domain to assemble the content as learning objects suitable for processing as deliverables for learning management systems (LMS).
If you're looking for an adventure as an Information Developer in the semiconductor industry, you're invited to join a new subcommittee of the DITA Technical Committee: the Semiconductor Information Design community of practice.
