Can I Reuse This?
There are a number of things to consider when examining your content for reusable elements. It may seem logical to deduplicate any and all identical elements, but there are times when that might not make sense. Then there are those very close matches. Does that punctuation mark matter? How about the bold text in that warning? Then there’s content that isn’t quite a match, but could it, or should it, be rewritten for reuse?
In this session we’ll look at real-life examples of content being reviewed for possible deduplication and future reuse, and find some unexpected benefits as well as the expected ones. We will also consider some of the other things you can discover when examining your content for reusable elements that can help you improve your content for consistency and reuse purposes.
IDEAS Winter Online Conference | January 22-23, 2019
Conference Theme - Reusing Content
Reuse is one of the key business drivers for the adoption of a structured markup publishing model such as DITA. The ROI potential is compelling in today’s resource strapped technical product documentation environment, imagine being able to reduce the volume of content writers must maintain by 30, 40 or even 50 percent!
IDEAS is a two-day industry conference brought to you by The Center for Information-Development Management (CIDM) that you can attend virtually from the comfort of your own office. The conference includes five 60-minute concurrent sessions in two tracks, giving you a choice of 11 unique presentations. Participate live according to the published schedule or watch a recording of any session when it’s more convenient for you.
Stilo will be presenting a tools session on Tuesday, January 22, 2019 at 12.30 - 1.30pm PST - introducing OptimizeR - a new content optimization service that analyzes your DITA content collections for exact and near-exact matches and identifies reuse opportunities at topic and element levels. Following review, it automatically deduplicates content, updates the associated conref libraries and ditamaps and provides a report of all changes that have been implemented.
