DITA and INFORMATION 4.0: Prerequisite, precursor, cohabitant, or alternative?
This presentation will introduce Information 4.0 and the consortium behind it. It will briefly explain how this is connected to Industry 4.0, IoT, bots, deep learning and AI.
Following this, Steffen will give an update on the progress made so far by the Information 4.0 consortium and then show how DITA can actually play an important role – or even be part of the base architecture – in Information 4.0.
Obviously, this involves using DITA differently and for much more than just doing nice PDFs with a bookmap.
Information 4.0 in some ways represent the same revolution to content that relational databases brought to data. Use your current DITA initiatives to get on to the train before getting hit by the train.
Who is presenting?
Bringing the Power of Structured Content Management to Everybody!
Since 1989, Steffen Frederiksen have been working with the creation, management and distribution of structured, reusable business content (operating procedures, business policies, product information, manuals, etc.).
The work included methods, software tools, training workshops and CMS solutions. He has been part of the team managing the training of more than 200,000 writers around the globe, primarily in the financial services, pharma, and other regulated industries.
While working for Information Mapping, Steffen Frederiksen developed the concept of “object-oriented information” as well as the MOM (Mapping Object Model) XML DTDs – some of the work that the DITA standard is built on.
With the objective of bringing the power of structured content to everybody by combining the power of the DITA standard, Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Office, he founded DitaExchange in 2001 – and has been working here since then.
