Abstract: Many challenges face authors and organizations moving to DITA. Some of those challenges may not jump out at you at first. Soon you will be faced with problems that may stop you from sleeping peacefully at night.
For example: Breaking your content into small modular topics is great for reuse, but could easily multiply by 10’s or even 100’s the number of files you have to manage. Finding information in this “sea of content” can be a grueling task! Another example links. In your DITA content, you will have links everywhere. Maps contain links to topics. Topics may have links to images, cross references to other topics, related links, and conrefs. Soon, you may not know what content is being used or where it is being used. You may not even know what content is being used at all!
These are just two examples of the many practical challenges you will be faced with as an author and as an organization. During the presentation, we will see how the effective use of metadata along with existing standards such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF) can be an answer to those challenges. With metadata and RDF, those nasty nightmares will go away, indeed they may well be the answer to all of your DITA dreams!
