You are moving to DITA, but you’ve already got reuse happening in your legacy format. Reuse mechanisms don’t usually match DITA’s. How can you keep the added value of content reuse when you move the content to the new format?

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Lava con2015 - The Emerging Model for Content Creation: Guided + Fluid Author...Stilo International
DITA implementations in large organizations have typically been confined to the domain of tech docs. Unfortunately there are several barriers to the more widespread adoption of DITA, including the cost and availability of appropriate authoring tools. SMEs who make occasional content contributions don’t want to know about DITA or its complexities, or invest a lot of time and effort learning new tools.
Up until now, there has traditionally been four classic models of content authoring: free-form, form-driven, structure-driven and template-driven. All have their relative merits, but still fall short of what is required for widespread enterprise DITA adoption.
In this session, you will learn about an emerging 5th model for content creation – guided + fluid DITA authoring. We will demonstrate how AuthorBridge, a new web-based editor, can provide the best of all four classic models and more, while providing a paradigm shift in the affordability of structured content authoring.

LavaCon 2017 - DITA: Start Small, Grow Big Using Open Source ToolsJack Molisani
You’re considering using DITA and would like to try it out without incurring significant upfront costs, but also keeping your options open longer-term. Where do you start? How will you approach the challenges of content creation, content management, and publishing your content? There are in fact plenty of options. The good news is that XML and DITA are open standards. This has led to a healthy ecosystem with quality commercial and inter-operable open source tools, that do away with vendor lock-in and keep operating costs down. We will discuss the three challenges, show an example of how end-to-end solutions can be built based upon Git and other open source tools. In fact, the result may be better than you’d expect.

Taming the Legacy Beast: Turning wild old code into a sleak new thoroughbread.Chris Laning
Got a legacy application? Trying to turn into a modern one? This presentation, given by Chris Laning, takes you through a methodical process that helps you attack that seemingly insurmountable task and tame it like a pro! The presentation is ColdFusion focused, but many of the methods employed could be used by programmers in other languages. This presentation was given at NCDevCon on September 13, 2014 in Raleigh, NC.
Chris is a Senior WebDeveloper and has been doing web development since 1996.
Slides from my presentation at Barcelona Content Strategy Meetup, 20 October 2014.
Defines structured writing, and discusses how it differs from other forms, what it means for writers, and how it's managed.
In today's world, we cannot expect to find a single format for information across an enterprise. People write spreadsheets, markdown, HTML, comments within the source code of different programming languages, structured XML based documents, and so on. This makes it very difficult to publish — as a single publication — content that originates in different formats, without re-encoding that in a common format. We propose the use of URLs to dynamically convert content from one format to another, thus we avoid duplicating information and realize single source publishing across multiple formats.
As long as the information has a structure that is machine processable, we should be able to convert from one form of encoding to another. For example, if you have a table encoded as an Excel sheet then you can get a DITA topic out of that just by referring to that file with a URL like "excel2dita:/path/to/excel/file.xls".
To test how this actually works, we implemented such URLs that perform dynamic conversions for:
Excel to DITA
Google Sheets to DITA
JavaDoc to DITA
Java source to DITA
Markdown to DITA
HTML to DITA Custom
XML format to SVG
Comma Separated Values to DITA and back (to test also round-tripping support)
Basically, with this simple dynamic conversion technology (just use a URL to point to files in different format and get them as DITA or some other format) we can bridge between formats with advantages of avoiding duplicating content and thus reducing work and potential errors and being able to provide a unified publishing framework across different formats.
This presentation was given at Information Development World on October 2, 2015.
Understanding and Communicating the Financial Impact of XML & DITAScott Abel
You already know that XML and DITA for documentation and publishing boast extreme productivity and cost-savings, as well as revenue opportunities. But how can you build your case to the executives to get the green light?
Come to this session to discover your potential financial returns. Learn how to calculate the cost of your current processes, and calculate the potential savings with new technology for authoring, re-use automation, localization, review, and publishing. You can then use these ROI calculations for budget requests and business cases to senior executives, to set expectations with the team and stakeholders, and track project success.
You’ll learn how to:
* Quantify and calculate savings in authoring, localization, reviewing, and publishing
* Build your business case for DITA including sample scenarios and calculations
* Communicate your proposed savings to senior executives
* Save 20 - 40% on authoring, 25-50% on localization costs, and over 50% on your existing publishing costs.

Translation Markup Language and Universal Translation MemoryMichael Berkovich
Today’s web and mobile app localization industry relies on numerous standards, libraries and file formats to facilitate the exchange between developers and translators. While some formats are somewhat sophisticated, others lack even the most fundamental features, like pluralization and contextualization. And most can’t offer support for more advanced localization features, like language cases.
The most common formats used today include Gettext PO, Android XML, YAML, .Net RESX, iOS Strings. Those standards are typically packaged with popular frameworks and in some cases leave the developer with no choice but to use them. A typical developer today works with many frameworks - for instance a Rails backend app (YAML) with Ember front end (i18n JS) and iOS mobile app (Strings). Since all standards have distinct syntax - in many cases translations cannot be shared across applications.
Translation Markup Language (TML) aims to solve both these problems by introducing a powerful extensible cross-platform syntax that offers support for pluralization, language contextualization, language cases, reusable decorators and much more. TML libraries are available for all major web and mobile platforms. TML allows translators to do in-context translations - where they can translate right from within the apps. TML libraries also eliminate the need for developers to ever deal with the resource files, as all extractions and translation substitution is done realtime and the resource files are only used as a transport between the apps and the Translation Exchange platform.
Translation Exchange stores all translations in Universal Translation Memory (UTM), a graph database which stores all translations with their context, tone, rank and other attributes for accurate matching. This allows translations to be shared across all apps in the Translation Exchange Network. The translation memories of each app are extracted from the UTM graph and are managed by their individual localization teams.
During this presentation we will look at some of the features of TML and how it can be used to quickly translate an app into a number of language using in-context translation tools. We will also look at how the data is stored and shared across applications using UTM.
Agile (enterprise) architecture has been a paradox since time immemorial. Now, with the arrival of Ballerina, that is no longer the case. Ballerina is the next big thing in enterprise integration. In this session we introduce this new, cloud-native, programming language. We explain how this seamlessly fits into a microservice architecture with APIs, does not step on the toes of existing services, and why every architect should know this language.

LavaCon 2017 - Developing Your Edge: Getting a Seat at the Customer’s TableJack Molisani
In many businesses, Sales account teams closely guard and regulate contact with customers. I have heard of, and have experienced situations where technical communications staff are refused access to customers unless there is a major issue. Customer engagement is the linchpin to understanding requirements and delivering value. It is the critical factor between celebrating success and wasting cycles. My session explores the idea of getting communications professionals to overcome the trust and perception deficits we often face.
A large part of the problem is the perception of how we communicate and a fear of what we’ll say. This mentality impedes and undermines our value proposition. I’ll share ideas and anecdotes about what can we do to:

Understanding how product documentation is consumed can fuel your company with data that has the potential to transform operations and impact decisions. To gain this insight, you need to change the way you track and mine the behavior of users when they search, read and interact with your technical content. By combining the latest delivery, text-mining and analytics technologies, you will transform tech content into a sensor and its delivery into a data generator.
After reviewing the flaws of the “old” approaches to content analytics, we will study how to properly capture the interactions of users with content. We will also explore the different levels of value that we can derive from modern delivery, text-mining and analytics. We will see how those new technologies can multiply the value of tech content. And we will learn how tech content can be impactful for many different activities and constituencies of the company, gathering more support and becoming more strategic.
LavaCon 2017 - Agile Localization: Building Bridges Between Translation Quali...Jack Molisani
Staying in sync with the rapid cycles of Agile software development can be a challenge for any technical communicator, and even more so when localization is involved. Localization includes both the technical and linguistic aspects of translating software and documentation into other languages. You can be a hero in your organization by creating a smooth process to build a bridge between the seemingly incompatible processes of agile development and localization.
Content moves around. It passes back and forth between authoring, editing, reviewing, and publishing before ever reaching its intended audience. Each touch point creates change, but often that change is elusive or unknown. In regulated industries such as healthcare, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals, proving that you have control over content change is a vital capability. How can you gain and demonstrate that control and how do you present an audit trail of change to the relevant audiences in an appropriate format?

We adapted – and used templates! Since we were used to Word templates, it made sense to mimic that for simplicity in training and transition. Templates provide a built-in structure and allow customization of the user experience. Please join us as we expose our experiences with templates in XML.

Breaking down content silos requires an enterprise-wide strategy that serves a number of distinct departments, creators, reviewers, and consumers. However, an enterprise-wide strategy that requires an enterprise-wide deployment of DITA will very likely fail. DITA simply is not made for ALL the content types and workflows within an organization, which usually span support, marketing, product documentation, legal, and more. In this session, we’ll focus on why an enterprise-wide content strategy is important, alternatives to DITA, and how to get started.
LavaCon 2017 - Take the Risk, Embrace the Change!Jack Molisani

LavaCon 2017 - Structured Content Authoring For All!Jack Molisani
Many say “Structured Content Authoring is too complex.” But organizations have no choice: to keep content consistent, findable and manageable, we simply must write and store in a structured format. Semantic tagging, re-use, targeting, conditions, references, all are essential and valuable features that form the essence of Structured Content schemas. If we simply ‘strip complexity’ –for ‘lightweight authoring’- chances are fair that we lose much of this value. The question is: how to make Structured Content Authoring a mainstream activity?

While content marketing can improve brand preference, it’s hard to link it to product information directly while maintaining an authentic voice. Conversely, product documentation is perceived as authentic and trustworthy — a potentially powerful marketing asset itself — but can be hard to find and hard work to read. This live use case shows how content marketing can link customers to docs in a relevant, contextual, and scalable way by combining taxonomy and minimalist structured content.
LavaCon 2017 - Getting Dragged Along? Start Charting Your Team’s Course with ...Jack Molisani
To meet the demand for content, do you take a “peanut butter” approach and spread your resources evenly – but thinly – across the whole product? Or do you grease the squeakiest wheel, which means you neglect a wheel that’s more vital to the business? Either way, outside forces dictate how you’ll use your resources. Soon you’ll have a lot of mediocre content that doesn’t represent your team’s value. And that makes it hard to get headcount and funding.
LavaCon 2017 - Feed the Goldfish in 19 Minutes and 52 SecondsJack Molisani
Content consumption patterns have dramatically changed over the last decade. The maximum selective sustained attention span of a human being is about 20 minutes. The length of this talk. Latest research shows that the transient attention span of human beings has even gone down from 12 to 8 seconds over the last decade – even a goldfish has a longer attention span.
To communicate technical content in the future successfully, we need to move from drops to drips, deliver smaller content chunks, improve findability and searchability and tailor content to the content consumer’s role and context automatically.

The Farmer and the Cowhand Should Be Friends, or, How UX and Content Can (and Should) Work Together.
Let’s be frank: If UX designers had their way, the only words you’d ever see on the web are lorem ipsum. And yet, words — from interfaces to microcopy to long narratives — are integral to the usability and delight of any web product. Based on his years of UX experience and love of good content, Dylan will talk about ways to bring the two sides together to make better things on the web.

When customer expectations uproot your documentation processes and PDF content offering, how do you mobilize a team that has used the same tools and processes to create book-based, unstructured content for over two decades? When new demands drive the change for structured content to support a myriad of users and multi-channel publishing, the logical choice is a DITA workflow.
Join Ciena, The Content Era and Adobe Tech Comm at LavaCon 2017 Portland for an immersive workshop that highlights how a DITA workflow is possible with familiar tools, a modest budget, and creative handling of the content.

Many of us still struggle to manage numerous modes of omnichannel content engagement: published, interactive, and automated. The solution requires vision to move towards a new order of content intelligence encompassing our organization’s entire knowledge graph. It requires spanning silos, especially between marcomm and techcomm. Join Cruce Saunders as he explores the new content stack, and how to future proof content assets to meet the demands of ever-evolving customer experiences.

Trying to implement an content strategy that supports your customers across their entire journey–or even just sell the idea to decision makers? Having problems getting it to fly? More than any other single aspect, stakeholder management is critical to getting support for and implementing a unified content strategy (or ANY project, for that matter). You need to understand THEIR needs and ensure that you’re communicating continually to quiet objections and move your project forward. And it’s not always easy–especially when you’re leading initiatives across silos and teams with no direct authority. Influencing those stakeholders is key!
In this session, Andrea will discuss the success factors to aim for, and the behaviors that can trip you up, when managing stakeholders to successfully support your clients, solve business problems, and drive revenue and customer loyalty!
LavaCon 2017 - Future-proof Your Content: Beyond Traditional Publishing for S...Jack Molisani
This session delineates why the most common publishing methods in today’s technical space cannot survive into the middle of the next decade. Tools and methodologies are required that are scalable for vast increases of “atomic” content and to dozens of more language targets.

LavaCon 2017 - Silos. (And other concepts that make us average)Jack Molisani
Content crosses silos, giving content developers a unique perspective of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Years of experience leads to insight, but can also paralyze innovative ideas.
Has your experience given you tribal knowledge and wisdom, or preconceived notions that are no longer true or helpful?
In this keynote, Megan Gilhooly discusses new ways of thinking that challenge common business trends. She will provide examples highlighting how your ability to think critically and your passion for forging new trends can help you throughout your content career.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
