Content reuse is a fundamental benefit of DITA adoption, providing huge efficiency gains to authoring teams and helping to ensure the consistency of published information across an enterprise. However, identifying potential reuse opportunities and implementing reuse strategies can be a painstaking and laborious process. As an ever increasing volume of content is authored in DITA across authoring teams, then invariably more content is replicated over a period of time.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to automatically identify reuse potential across your DITA content collections, deduplicate topics and update conref libraries and ditamaps?

Introducing OptimizeR, Stilo’s content optimization tool that enables you to automatically identify reuse potential across your DITA content and publish more accurate, normalized content, faster. Whether you’re embarking on the conversion of content to DITA for the first time, or have existing DITA content that you would like to evaluate for additional reuse opportunities, OptimizeR can help.

Can you easily find content created by other teams?
Is content consistently structured across the enterprise?
Do you have a common content lifecycle management strategy?

If you answered “no” to any of these questions, then join us for this Stilo DITA Knowledge Series webinar featuring guest presenter, Amber Swope, president of DITA Strategies, Inc., for a discussion on using content collections to share content.

Content collections are libraries of organized, labeled, source content units that are accessible by the appropriate people. Let’s talk about strategies to create and share the right content in your organization. 

What can you expect to learn?

In this presentation, Amber will explain how to:

• Identify the requirements for the collection
• Determine the collection scope
• Collaborate with other stakeholders to build and manage the collection
