Actually ...I see it opposite from you. Structure/DITA to me notes the DITA version and if it was another, say, Structure/SGML as another kind.

I am seeing this used more and more in presentations and online, and it really gets under my skin. DITA is one implementation of structured authoring, just like "Kleenex" is one implementation of a "tissue". Sure, I understand the need in some industries to have an authoring standard so that information can be exchanged and whatnot. But when we use the term "structure/DITA", don't we give the impression that structured authoring is DITA? That you can't have one without the other? And that's just not true. My experience is that you can easily (well, relatively easily) implement structured authoring in a tool like FrameMaker, without the overhead of a full-blown DITA implementation. I'd love to hear some opinions on that. -----Original Message----- From: Framers [mailto:framers-bounces +gary.etzel=dnvgl....@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Monique Semp Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2016 11:52 AM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: [Framers] structured content - not always called for > I'll be presenting nuts-and-bolts examples of how to do a bunch of "structured/DITA things" in Word, FrameMaker, Doxygen/Javadoc, and MadCap Flare... I gave this presentation to the STC-Berkeley chapter last night, and per several requests from this list, am sharing the slide deck. You can find it on SlideShare: http://www.slideshare.net/msemp/adopting-structuredanddita-best-practices-for-any-toolset?qid=38e06f93-0828-471c-a39b-54267a5660d4&v=&b=&from_search=1 , and on my LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/moniquesemp (for now in the Summary section, and after “a while” in the experience entry for Society for Technical Communication). I’d certainly welcome comment and discussion, -Monique _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com ************************************************************************************** This e-mail and any attachments thereto may contain confidential information and/or information protected by intellectual property rights for the exclusive attention of the intended addressees named above.
