Information Architecture Workbench (IAWB), formerly known as Task Modeler, is a free, Eclipse-based tool for graphically designing, building, and editing DITA maps and relationship tables. IAWB enables you to visualize various properties of the map, such as linking between files. In the handout you find how to download, install and setup of the IBM Information Architecture. Furthermore you learn how to design a small, DITA-based information set, creating a map, creating relationships and generating stub files.

SeSAM (Search Situation based Architecture and Method) is a framework for technical communicators to identify what content end users of a technical product need and how that content shall be organized in deliverables for efficient retrieval. SeSAM is built on eight pre-defined search situations and user goals and the information that is likely to be needed to reach the goal. SeSAM also provides an architecture to organize content to make it accessible for users.
