The JoAnn Hackos Workshop Series announces the Information Modeling for Topic-based Authoring in DITA and XML workshop in Everett, WA, May 3-4, 2011, taught by Frank Miller.

Developing a sound, comprehensive Information Model is critical to your move to structured authoring, XML, and content management. The Information Model defines the structures your writers use to develop content that is consistent and reusable.

Your Information Model provides the foundation for your authoring guidelines and the implementation of content management in your organization.

In this workshop, learn how to build an information model for your organization. You learn to define your information types, the content units they contain, your standard document structures, as well as your metadata schema, naming conventions, and file and folder structure.

We ask you to bring sample materials to use in the workshop exercises. You will not need your computer for this workshop.
