Presentation: [Workshop] Creating High Quality Content that Communicates Across Language Barriers: Reducing Localization Costs By Focusing on Information Quality & Creativity or Confusion Factor?: The Case for Sentence-level Reuse in Mission Critical Communication

Recovering Pubs director and thirty-year enterprise publishing veteran , experienced in all aspects of information development and delivery, with a strong focus on process, technology, and quality. Early implementer and supporter of structured writing, content management, single sourcing, multi-use/multipurposing, machine translation, and computer assisted information delivery and learning systems. And always seeking the Holy Grail: cost, quality, and timeliness - all at the same time!  In multiple languages and multiple media …

It’’s been a long, often frustrating journey. I even left the field for a while when the technology and management focus shifted almost exclusively to cost and speed – to the detriment of quality.  But times are changing. Decades of research and development in Natural Language Processing and Automated Linguistic Analysis have come to fruition, resulting in Information Quality Management tools and processes that actually work in the real world of enterprise information development. And, I’’m back in the hunt.
