June 2009 Meeting

In this presentation, Seth will show examples of both usecases in real-world scenarios being defined by the Semiconductor Information Design Subcommittee (SIDSC) as they discover the relationship between the SIDSC specialization and pre-existing industry standard XML formats. Many people have expressed an interest in using DITA as part of a distributed information architecture. This interest comes from two primary usecases:

Get: DITA content needs data from non-DITA data sources ("DITA as primary architecture")
Give: non-DITA data sources need DITA content ("DITA as documentation sub-module")

The proposed DITA Mashup subcommittee will focus on defining DITA's relationship with non-DITA data sources in order to provide a solution for these usecases. If you are interested in participating in the subcommittee, please email seth.park@freescale.com.

Presenter

Seth Park is an information architect at Freescale Semiconductor and one of the chartering members of the Semiconductor Information Design Subcommittee of the OASIS DITA Technical Committee. He began his career at then-Motorola SPS, where he began to discover the challenges of dealing with information stored in unstructured, proprietary formats in disparate content management systems. In 2006, Freescale Semiconductor decided to address the eminent threat of unsustainable information lifecycle management head-on. As the lead of Freescale's Information Architecture team, Seth is developing a DITA?based architecture and tools requirements to meet the long?term product data requirements of the semiconductor industry. Seth is a member of the DITA Technical Committee and the SPIRIT Register Description Work Group.
