SCHEMA Is a Guest at the 8th Content Management Strategies Conference and DITA Europe 2012 at the Hilton Hotel in Frankfurt

Already in the 1990s SCHEMA recognized that modularization is essential for increasing efficiency in industrial text production. This is possible through DITA, Darwin Information Architecture. DITA is a structure description for texts which classifies content into thematic fragments (topics) of different types. Integrating these topics via references (maps), allows for repeated reuse of text without having to create and maintain redundant copies.
This modularized concept forms the methodical basis for SCHEMA ST4, making SCHEMA ST4 ideal for DITA. Different inheritance mechanisms were implemented in the editing system ST4, providing direct support for DITA-structured information. The inheritance hierarchies of the DITA-structured documents are represented graphically in SCHEMA ST4, making information modules and the associated structures (hierarchies, interconnections and metadata) transparent and easy to edit.
Conversely, from the information structures and modules, SCHEMA ST4 can generate DITA documents for maps (topic compositions), additionally incorporating information for the reuse in other DITA systems. These maps can be combined easily in a graphical user interface by using drag-and-drop.
This is extremely useful, easy to implement and saves time!
Andrew Potapczuk and Christof Muehlan from Ericsson Telekommunikation GmbH & Co. KG. share this opinion. Their lecture „Getting the Most Out of Content Reuse“, on November 12, 2012, at 2:30 pm at the Content Management Strategies Conference and DITA Europe 2012, provides further information on DITA.
