Who Are We?! Armedia LLC Enterprise Content and Information Management Professionals

Evolution of the Mullet (future presentation?)!

Agenda!•  The Challenge•  The (first) Solution•  Issues?•  The (alternative) Solution•  The Issues Compared•  Demo (of course)

The Challenge!•  Client is in the Publishing Business•  Reliance on one person to write large parts of content•  They use Word and email•  Perl scripts to convert content to XML•  Specific people with knowledge to generate PDF’s

The Goal!•  Structured Authoring•  Content stored in ECM •  Security and role based access!•  Workflow and Process Management•  Choice of PDF generation •  Draft, Layout, Final etc.!•  Other output formats

The Solution!•  Proprietary ECM already purchased•  Proprietary Publishing tool already used •  For creation of PDFʼs!•  Basically, "Ready, Steady, Cook" •  build a solution but you must include the above ingredients!•  Costly software! We built a working solution.

Typical Content Structure!

Review of the Process!Step 1 – create content types and modelsStep 2 – get content into systemStep 3 – extend UI to allow custom types to be PDF’edStep 4 – apply security constraints to manage who can do whatStep 5 – create mechanism to send content from ECM to publishing applicationStep 6 – store result as rendition of selected content

Issues?!•  Custom import required for each publication type •  Manuals, Updates, etc.!•  Large import of content takes a loooooong time •  1000+ pieces of content/links could take 1 hour or more!•  Not easy to add new content to existing publication

Typical Content Structure!And it continues on

Issues?!•  Not easy to retype existing content•  OOTB link management poor, would need to be custom implemented•  Java exec required to invoke DITA OpenToolkit – nasty •  Used Open Toolkit to create intermediate RDF document!

Getting More Crazy!You get the idea ….

The Alternative Solution!•  Choosing better ingredients•  Your proprietary content repo sucks!•  Leverage open source products where possible •  Alfresco! •  DITA Open Toolkit!•  Leverage standards where possible •  DITA! •  XProc! •  Xlink! •  RDF!•  And use Componize (to tie these all together)

The Issues Compared!•  Standard Alfresco Import •  Previous - Custom import required for each publication type!•  Initial import took less than 20 minutes •  Previous - Large import of content takes a loooooong time!•  Import not tied to specific application per publication type •  Previous - Not easy to retype existing content!•  Need to add a section, go ahead – no duplication. •  Previous - Not easy to add new content to existing publication!•  Componize have implemented a link management! •  OOTB link management poor, would need to be custom implemented!

The Demo!•  I cannot show the proprietary solution•  But I can show the alternative (and better) solution

Whatʼs Next!•  Focus on the Business Need•  Develop Process Flow •  Look forward to using Activiti!•  Integrate other departments
