January 2009 Meeting

IBM DITA Wiki: Growing DITA Across the Enterprise

Are you curious about DITA and Wikis? Wondering whether a Wiki can be based on DITA as its source? Wondering if such DITA content can be developed by people who are not technical writers?

This presentation discusses the IBM DITA Wiki, a tool designed to enable non-technical writers to collaboratively develop content by using reusable, semantically-rich DITA files. It will discuss the following areas:

• How the idea emerged and grew
• Development of the IBM DITA Wiki
• How we built community and helped people — subject matter experts and authors outside of technical publications — to learn to author in DITA
• Lessons learned and future ideas for the IBM DITA Wiki

Presenter

Don Day, IBM Architect, Lightweight DITA Publishing Solutions
IBM Corp., User Technologies
