Sustainable XML for Publishing Applications: DITA Makes It Possible
Speaker: Eliot KimberTime: 8:45 AM - 9:30 AM Date: October 30
Track: Keynote
Experience level: All levels
XML applications for publishers have largely failed to realize the full potential inherent in the technology. While larger publishers could make the investment necessary to realize significant return on the use of XML technology, smaller enterprises simply could not, for a number of reasons, but fundamentally because the startup costs and ongoing costs of ownership were simply too high. The DITA standard fundamentally changes the equation, bringing several unique features that, together, serve to lower both the startup cost and ongoing costs, making the use of XML for publishers much more affordable than it ever has before. At the same time, advances in supporting technologies important to Publishers, such as improved support for XML in Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office, powerful new XML search and retrieval systems such as MarkLogic, and a new generation of lower-cost XML editors, as serve to make the use of XML for Publishing applications more attractive than it ever has been before.
