XML-Based Collaboration with Office 2007: Benefits for Medical Writers
Speaker: Richard BrandtTime: 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM Date: June 25
Track: Collaboration
Experience level: All levels
It’s no secret that the thought of XML and its technical complexities stops many writers from even considering structured authoring. But what happens when people find out that they can create XML documents right in Microsoft Word with the In.vision Xpress Author add-in? Once the fear is gone, users see how much “smarter” XML documents are, and how smarter documents can make their workday far more interesting and productive.
This session will demonstrate how XML enhances collaboration and really delivers what users want:
- Web 2.0: Collaboration today is defined by wikis, blogs, and other aspects of Web 2.0. Does XML authoring fit with the spontaneous nature of Web 2.0, and can it actually bring a new level of functionality to Web 2.0 processes?
- New Levels of Document Review: Track Changes and Commenting in Word are already the basis for many organizations’ review processes. Come see how adding the intelligence of XML to these features takes document review to the next level and supports productivity gains for everyone.
- Real-time Content Pipeline: Interviewing SMEs is a time consuming and often non-collaborative activity. We will demonstrate what happens when the results of collaborative processes flow directly to technical writers from wikis, blogs, or review processes.
