Structured content is now considered fundamental to content strategy and an organization's ability to deliver content where it is needed across a wide variety of devices and media. Yet authoring structured content has always been a difficult problem. Coding raw XML and WYSIWYG authoring do not work for most authors.

Starting with version 14, oXygen introduced the form controls as a new approach to authoring, one that hides the complexity of XML without obscuring the structure we are trying to capture, or creating hard-to-understand errors.

oXygen invited Mark Baker, owner of Analecta Communications and consultant in structured authoring and topic-based writing, to explore the business case for forms-based structured authoring. Topics covered by this webinar include:

• Why structured authoring is critical to the modern enterprise
• The limitations of current structured authoring methods
• How forms-based authoring addressed these limitations
• How forms-based authoring hides XML syntax better than WYSIWYG
• How forms-based authoring at last delivers the ideal of separating content form formatting
• A demonstration of forms-based authoring in oXygen XML
• The benefits to the organization from adopting forms-based authoring

This webinar focuses on more advanced features that justify the return of investment you get from using DITA - the key word here is REUSE. Reuse can be implemented either directly though content references or indirectly through profiling/conditional content. We will also explore the publishing part by showing how you can change transformation parameters and how you can obtain multiple output formats from DITA.

Topics covered:

• Reusing content.
• Keys: defining keys, making key references and content key references.
• Validate and check for completeness using profiling conditions and DITAVAL filters.
• Advanced profiling using Subject Schemes maps.
• Customizing a transformation scenario, changing parameters.
• Publishing using multiple scenarios, each having a profiling condition set applied.
• Using a different DITA OT.

People are usually afraid of authoring XML because they perceive this as a lot more complicated than using a word processing application. The authoring support for XML however was improved continuously in the last years and oXygen can provide user interfaces allowing normal users to work with XML. These interfaces are a lot easier to use than word processors. In this webinar we will show a few examples of how oXygen can make XML editing accessible to everyone, and how you can provide similar user interfaces to edit your own XML formats.
