<strong>DITA</strong> – <strong>Top</strong> <strong>oder</strong> <strong>Flop</strong>?<br />

<strong>DITA</strong> ist für technische<br />

Sicht der Hype<br />

schlechthin.<br />

<strong>DITA</strong> ist top, <strong>DITA</strong> ist der<br />

Weltstandard für technische<br />

Dokumentation<br />

Vorteile<br />

27.02.2008 <strong>DITA</strong> <strong>Top</strong> <strong>oder</strong> <strong>Flop</strong> Version 1.0 Februar 2008<br />

Praktische Erfahrung des Referenten<br />

<strong>DITA</strong> hat eine große Zukunft, aber:<br />

] Die Umsetzung eines Standards ist<br />

nicht automatisch billig, sondern<br />

zunächst sogar teurer, wenn man sich<br />

dem Standard erst anpassen muss.<br />

] Nomenklatur erzeugt Emotion und<br />

umgekehrt: Man muss <strong>DITA</strong> mögen.<br />

] <strong>DITA</strong> ist 2008 als Gesamtlösung nicht<br />

ausgereift<br />

] <strong>DITA</strong>-ROI-Berechnungen definieren<br />

oft Einsparpotenziale für<br />

Prozessschritte, die mit <strong>DITA</strong> nichts<br />

zu tun haben.<br />

] Wer hauptsächlich Dokumente für<br />

PDF/Papier erzeugt, für den kann<br />

<strong>DITA</strong> zum <strong>Flop</strong> werden.<br />

says consultant JoAnn Hackos of<br />

ready-made set of DTDs that<br />

offers all the advantages of a<br />

Best Practice Autodesk<br />

The project<br />

] Autodesk is five years into an ambitious<br />

project to reengineer and retool all of their<br />

mechanisms for creating and managing<br />

product support content.<br />

New Sytem and New Processes<br />

] They have made the transition from<br />

unstructured content to XML-structured<br />

content, and they have established a<br />

centralized system for managing their<br />

content, managing their workflow, and<br />

managing their and managing their<br />

processes for translation and localization.<br />

Localization<br />

27.02.2008 <strong>DITA</strong> <strong>Top</strong> <strong>oder</strong> <strong>Flop</strong> Version 1.0 Februar 2008<br />

] AutoDesk is enjoying significant savings<br />

Desktop publishing and production of the<br />

various documents.<br />

] The new system replaced manual, time-<br />

intensive tools with automated XSL and<br />

XSL-FO scripts that take the <strong>DITA</strong>-encoded<br />

content and produce the final output<br />

automatically. For example, a single-<br />

chapter can be produced in 2 minutes<br />

using the automatic tools, and a full, 3000-<br />

page Help product can be generated in 45<br />

minutes.<br />

Reuse of the core AutoCAD documentation<br />

] The team is able to reuse the core platform<br />

content with only slight transformations.<br />

They are also able to share and modify<br />

content between the various vertical<br />

applications with minimal effort, thereby<br />

gaining further savings.<br />

11


Best Practice BMC<br />

While <strong>DITA</strong> provides a solid base,<br />

we still need to "make it fit" our<br />

BMC Software information<br />

models, meaning we have to<br />

develop numerous specializations<br />

for each information type.<br />

<strong>DITA</strong> is a solid architecture that<br />

offers a great head start, but it<br />

takes significant effort to make<br />

<strong>DITA</strong> work for a specific<br />

implementation.<br />

27.02.2008 <strong>DITA</strong> <strong>Top</strong> <strong>oder</strong> <strong>Flop</strong> Version 1.0 Februar 2008<br />

One of the most difficult parts has<br />

been learning how to model the<br />

information and then learning how<br />

to write the specializations in <strong>DITA</strong><br />

to map the model. Learning has<br />

been the trickiest because we had<br />

to learn both modeling and how to<br />

code the model.<br />

Information modeling should<br />

focus solely on content,<br />

independent of technology.<br />

Information modeling takes an<br />

iterative approach and, thus,<br />

requires a significant amount of<br />

time. Factoring sufficient time into<br />

the project plan is essential.<br />

Best Practice Texas Engineering Extension Service<br />

The structured authoring<br />

environment delivers the added<br />

advantage of enabling TEEX to<br />

better leverage XML content in its<br />

Siberlogic CMS. For example,<br />

blocks of information in XML can<br />

be used and reused at the<br />

paragraph level, allowing<br />

curriculum developers to take<br />

frequently used safety processes<br />

and guidelines and insert them<br />

automatically into the appropriate<br />

pages.<br />

27.02.2008 <strong>DITA</strong> <strong>Top</strong> <strong>oder</strong> <strong>Flop</strong> Version 1.0 Februar 2008<br />

“This is a tremendous efficiency<br />

gain for our staff,” says McCallie.<br />

“Now, we can revise and reuse<br />

content easily across manuals,<br />

and then automatically insert it<br />

everywhere it needs to appear.<br />

The efficiencies could accelerate<br />

creating manuals by as much as<br />

25%.”<br />

27.02.2008 <strong>DITA</strong> <strong>Top</strong> <strong>oder</strong> <strong>Flop</strong> Version 1.0 Februar 2008<br />

] Reduce translation costs by 10-<br />

20% in the first year of<br />

implementation through re-use<br />

savings<br />

] Improve the consistency of the<br />

content delivered to customers<br />

through collaborative writing,<br />

single-sourcing and re-use<br />

] Reduce the cost of maintaining<br />

and managing DTDs and<br />

transformations<br />

Best Practice Symantec Corporation<br />

Pleasures<br />

[ reuse of content,<br />

[ ease of restructuring deliverables,<br />

[ simple export to multiple delivery<br />

formats.<br />

Pitfalls<br />

[ complex interaction of simultaneous<br />

reuse possibilities (for multiple<br />

platforms, releases, and OEM<br />

deliveries),<br />

[ completely rethinking the structure of<br />

administrative topics<br />

[ the need to be always aware of who<br />

else might be using a source content<br />

section.<br />

Restructuring the legacy content for<br />

optimal use became impossible. One<br />

attempt to restructure a large chunk<br />

of content for optimal reuse rendered<br />

the structure of that content<br />

incomprehensible to any of our<br />

writers.<br />

27.02.2008 <strong>DITA</strong> <strong>Top</strong> <strong>oder</strong> <strong>Flop</strong> Version 1.0 Februar 2008<br />

Lulled into complacency, we forgot to<br />

consider the other writers using our<br />

sources. One writer had an<br />

unpleasant surprise when a PDF<br />

extract (that was fine two weeks ago)<br />

had missing sections and content that<br />

no longer applied.<br />

Another challenge was consideration<br />

of all the possible uses of our source<br />

(for multiple platforms, releases, OEM<br />

deliveries, and products), which<br />

required months of planning around<br />

conditional text.<br />

Tracking hundreds of topics in<br />

various stages of completion<br />

expanded our use of Excel<br />

spreadsheets. And writing for topicbased<br />

reuse constantly challenged us<br />

to think differently than our past linear<br />

writing.<br />

10 <strong>DITA</strong> Lessons Learned From Tech Writers in the Trenches<br />

1. <strong>DITA</strong> Is NOT A Magic Wand (<strong>DITA</strong><br />

makes some things easier but<br />

adds its own issues as well.)<br />

2. Don’t Fall In Love With Software<br />

3. Don’t Jump in Without a Clear<br />

Business Case, a Repeatable<br />

Strategy, and Measurable Goals<br />

4. While You Are At It, Get A<br />

Content Management System<br />

5. <strong>DITA</strong> Needs to be Constrained.<br />

<strong>DITA</strong> allows authors to do things<br />

your business needs and<br />

authoring style guides may forbid<br />

6. Some Writers CANNOT Write<br />

Reusable Content<br />

7. Plan for Legacy Content<br />

Conversion Issues<br />

27.02.2008 <strong>DITA</strong> <strong>Top</strong> <strong>oder</strong> <strong>Flop</strong> Version 1.0 Februar 2008<br />

8. Resist the Temptation to<br />

Specialize<br />

9. Hire an Expert<br />

10. <strong>DITA</strong> Changes Everything:<br />

Getting Up To Speed Requires<br />

Commitment, Effort, Skills, and<br />

Training<br />

When you make the move to<br />

<strong>DITA</strong>, there is no room for<br />

deviation. It is all for one and<br />

one for all. If you have loose<br />

cannons trying to do things<br />

differently, you ARE going to<br />

have problems and may have to<br />

make staffing changes.<br />

<strong>DITA</strong> – Was sagen TD-Dienstleister dazu (2)<br />

Scriptorium (Sarah O-Keefe)<br />

"Once you start down the <strong>DITA</strong> path,<br />

forever will it dominate your destiny"<br />

] For technical writers, the transition from<br />

traditional desktop publishing to XML-<br />

based workflows requires a significant<br />

shift in mindset.(…) You should not<br />

underestimate the difficulty that this<br />

transition presents.<br />

] Just because it's free doesn't mean it's<br />

cheap. The default output from the <strong>DITA</strong><br />

Open Toolkit ranges somewhere between<br />

unattractive (HTML) and fugly (PDF). If you<br />

care about the appearance of your final<br />

documents, you are going to have to do a<br />

lot of work to get the look and feel you<br />

want.<br />

] And although the OT offers a starting point,<br />

customizing it is kind of like a trip to the<br />

dentist. The impacted-wisdom-tooth-<br />

removing kind of trip.<br />

Gordon McLean<br />

<strong>DITA</strong> is not the answer<br />

27.02.2008 <strong>DITA</strong> <strong>Top</strong> <strong>oder</strong> <strong>Flop</strong> Version 1.0 Februar 2008<br />

] All of my research suggests that, rather<br />

than being a simple installation and<br />

conversion process, creating a <strong>DITA</strong><br />

solution requires a lot of technical know-<br />

how and a not insubstantial amount of time<br />

and resource. We can handle the first, the<br />

latter is (I believe) not yet at a level which<br />

makes it cost-effective.<br />

] Ultimately, for the moment, <strong>DITA</strong> costs too<br />

much.<br />

“Everything takes longer with <strong>DITA</strong>”<br />

Over coffee this week I heard the<br />

complaint “everything takes longer<br />

with <strong>DITA</strong>” from a tech writer at a<br />

company that recently converted from<br />

unstructured FrameMaker to <strong>DITA</strong>.<br />

Why? Well you just can’t do File<br />

Open, add a paragraph or two, and<br />

consider your update done.<br />

The Facts: The complaint may well be<br />

absolutely true – for the writer at the<br />

moment at the time of adding a<br />

paragraph.<br />

http://methodm.com/blog/category/dita/<br />

27.02.2008 <strong>DITA</strong> <strong>Top</strong> <strong>oder</strong> <strong>Flop</strong> Version 1.0 Februar 2008<br />

But it is absolutely false for the total<br />

document cost because <strong>DITA</strong><br />

enables:<br />

] Delivery of the content to the user in<br />

multiple instances (e.g.<br />

troubleshooting, installation, FAQ,<br />

etc.).<br />

] Customization of the document for<br />

presentation to different types of<br />

users.<br />

] Easy updating of the content.<br />

] Definition of related topics (tasks that<br />

must be performed in a sequence, for<br />

example).<br />

] Focusing information on what the<br />

customer needs at a particular<br />

moment (how-to information, for<br />

example, or reference content)<br />

] And, of course, lower translation<br />

costs and much, much, much more.<br />
