Subject: Please review the Docstandards InterOp Scenerio and possible venues


I am posting the proposed scenario (as follows) provided by Michael Priestley (thank you Michael) to the docstandards list. I am also sending a list of venues for potential participants to review and send feedback to the list please. As many of you know, the InterOps take a lot of time and commitment but they are really popular with analyst, conference attendees, end users and public representatives.

 

The possible venues are:

 DITA Europe

http://www.infomanagementcenter.com/DITAeurope/

 

OASIS Open Standards

http://www.tekom.de/upload/alg/CfP%20OOSD.pdf

 

Open Publish 2006

http://open-conferences.com/baltimore/

 

XML 2006

XML 2006

http://2006.xmlconference.org/

 

Thanks!

Subject: Re: Discussion to advance DITA/ODF/DocBooks InterOp Demo

 


OK, finally got the outline done - harder than I thought, even at a high level, to come up with something that didn't immediately expose my utter ignorance of how the public sector works (please wait at least an hour before gently letting me know that my efforts have been unsuccessful):

- govt worker begins drafting a policy note in ODF about the use of personal data received via email
- govt worker pulls in the text of the relevant statute, which is in a DITA specialization
- govt worker pulls in the legal disclaimer which must now be included in every government email reply, from a different DITA specialization
- govt worker pulls in the instructions on how to include the text of the disclaimer in emails, from documentation of the email software written in DocBook

- technical author 1, using DITA, creates an internal policy and procedures website
- and pulls in text from the DocBook email software documentation
- and pulls in the legal text from a DITA specialization
- and pulls in the relevant section of the policy note, written in ODF

- technical author 2, using DocBook, creates a customized version of the email software documentation
- and pulls in portions of the procedures web site, in the form of DITA topics and ODF policy notes

- as the legal disclaimer changes, or the policy changes, or the email software changes, or the statute itself changes, all the references can be updated simply by rebuilding/republishing the content, since all reuse is by reference not by copy-and-paste

Now I'm off to sign on to the interop mailing list. Let me know if there's anything I need to change before going to the DITA TC list with the proposal. Suggestions for improvement/corrections would be very welcome.
