Our team will be speaking in several sessions at the ConVEx 2026 content conference.
Death and Tax-onomies: Metadata with Minimal Pain
Business-related metadata is a critical piece of your DITA content model. But taxonomy work is overwhelming to many people. In this session, Allison Beatty shares how the fields of library science and knowledge management offer tools that let you avoid reinventing the wheel. In this presentation, you’ll learn about the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI), how it maps to the DITA content model, and how you can use the Dublin Core standard to develop your organization’s metadata.
Tag, you’re it! Playing nice with DITA
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.

As a purveyor of high-stakes technical content, Scriptorium CEO Sarah O’Keefe is watching the rise of AI with alarm. Our interest in automation and new technologies is on a collision course with our mandate to deliver timely, accurate information.
