XML allows authors to write content once and publish it in a variety of media. Although XML is designed to create flexible, compatible, and manageable content, it does not make content usable. By combining XML with the Information Mapping method, the author can create usable, flexible, manageable and compatible content. Mapping with XML is a two-day Information Mapping course that teaches participants about the XML environment, how to plan and organize single sourcing projects in their company, and how to develop usable single source content, by applying the Information Mapping method.
Participants learn to make XML information usable for the reader.
Creating XML tagged content can be tedious. FS XML helps writers use Microsoft Word 97 or 2000 to create their content without having to worry about the XML tags. While XML tagged content is flexible, manageable and compatible across platforms, it may not be usable for an audience. The Information Mapping method helps writers create content that is meaningful to an audience and that can be stored in an XML tagged format. Information Mapping makes XML information effective for the reader.
