Tag, you’re it! Playing nice with DITA
Tuesday, 10:45 a.m.
Marketing, technical, training, and support teams often create content in silos, leading to duplication and inconsistency. In this session, Jake Campbell details how DITA provides a common set of rules that enables collaboration while preserving each team’s unique goals.
This session highlights how metadata supports discovery and targeted publishing, how taxonomies promote clarity without semantic overload, and how highly designed materials can be adapted into DITA without losing impact. We’ll also explore strategies for creating reusable, modular content that flows across teams to improve consistency and customer experience, creating a coordinated, sustainable content ecosystem.
