    Leveraging Cognitive Science to Improve Topic-Based Authoring
    Thursday, October 27, 9:30am

    brain-cogs-eventsExplore the science that makes for effective topic-based authoring with DITA. Semantic specialization should be a leading differentiator for selecting DITA for projects, yet it is one of its most underutilized features. Information Typing is truly at the heart of DITA, yet it is one of the most poorly understood concepts behind creating effective DITA topics. Content reuse is cited as a primary reason for moving to DITA, yet it is one of the hardest features to deliver expected gains in reliability, efficiency, and consistency over time.

    Join Rob Hanna to learn how to look at information from a new light and talk about how DITA can naturally be extended to accommodate enterprise content using principles of cognitive science. Rob will demonstrate how content should be broken down and organized for better comprehension, retention, and use. Rob will present research gathered from luminaries in the field of cognitive science to better understand how we need to focus attention on greater precision with our content standards for writing topic-based content.
