Subject: FW: [MgmtSIG] Recommendation on Content Management Tool
Me sniffing around on the STC Mgmt SIG again. Scott Wolff’s presentation on DITA 101 is a good introduction.
Information at this level widely available will go a long way to improving
adoption, I think (even we don’t get a mention on the subcommittees). Cheers, Briana From:

Behalf Of Danica Rhoades Our local STC chapter recently had a speaker present on
DITA. I missed the presentation myself, but the presentation is available here:

2009/3/27 Donna McManus <dmcmanus@dsci.com> Good question!!! I hate to admit it, but I've heard all kinds of things about DITA
but I have nooooooooo clue what it really is. I know the concepts surrounding
it: based on XML and that it types information. Can anyone provide the "elevator introduction" to DITA so
we know what it really is? I don't use it, don't know anything about it, and
keep hearing about it. I don't even use XML directly...that is generated by my
applications! (Word uses it, Robo uses it, and we build many of virtualizations
using XML). However, I have never had to write it by hand.... From: Charron,

Behalf Of Ole Andersen You are right Donna,
SharePoint is an excellent platform for this. The only problem is
that it is difficult to do the conditional publishing part in SharePoint. If
you want to go that route you should have a close look at what DITA can do for
you (DITA allows you to profile your content on a very granular level). I’ll not turn this
response into an ad for DITA Exchange, but our system comes with exactly the
features you are asking for – out of the box – provided you have SharePoint
2007 in place… Have a great
weekend, Ole Best Regards >< Content Technologies ApS Ole Rom

Behalf Of Donna McManus Almost sounds as if it is an
application for SharePoint, depending upon the budgetary constraints you have
as well as the user base. SharePoint has all of these functions (web
accessible, can provide end-user info, can use email workflows, integrates with
authoring tools, etc.) I don't know much about the costs
associated with SharePoint so that aspect will need to be investigated. I'm sort of re-learning SharePoint
after a 2 or 3 year absence away from it...our company just rolled out an
intranet based on SharePoint and we are building a custom contract management
system for a customer using SharePoint. Am finding it to be a fairly good tool
in terms of accessibility and usability and fairly easy to implement. Also is
highly customizable. From: mgmtsig-bounces+dmcmanus=dsci.com@mailman.stc.org [mailto:mgmtsig-bounces+dmcmanus=dsci.com@mailman.stc.org] On
Behalf Of Doug Davis Hi All, I have a client that has asked us to
build a huge knowledge base for them. The basic requirements are: - Must be able to be
accessed over the Web. - Customers should be able to
see certain end-user information in the knowledge base, and internal employees
need to be able to see certain things. In other words, readers have access to
only certain information based on their user profile, but all of the
information resides in a central place. - Needs to have some sort of
functionality to assist in authoring content and routing it to various
people for review and approval. - Don't know about budget yet, so I
need to look at high and low cost solutions and compare. I have some thoughts on this, but
would love your opinions regarding tools I should be looking at or staying far
away from as I put together the strategy for this new project. Many thanks in advance for any
assistance you can provide. Best wishes, Doug Doug Davis | President/CEO | ProEdit, Inc. P: 770-886-6255 | F: 770-886-6272
