Information Mapping Launches Revolutionary Authoring Tool: Content Mapper™ for DITA
By Cynthia Whitty, Public Relations Specialist
Content Mapper™ for DITA allows writers to easily generate DITA-compliant topics in XML using a familiar Microsoft™ Word environment.
Information Mapping recently announced the release of Content Mapper™ for DITA. A stand-alone product that allows writers to work in a familiar Microsoft® Word™ environment, Content Mapper for DITA generates DITA-compliant topics in XML.
In addition, Content Mapper for DITA costs significantly less than the technology-focused XML-editors and anyone can learn to use it quickly. The new product makes implementing DITA easy for organizations that want to get started creating DITA content today.
DITA,
a New Standard
Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is a structured mark-up
language for technical documentation that is being touted as the new standard
that will revolutionize information publishing. However, implementing
DITA can be a daunting challenge for many organizations. Until now, adopters
of DITA have had to learn the architecture and tagging language, become
comfortable using DITA’s many tags and attributes, and learn to
use expensive, high-end XML editing tools to insert, manipulate, and manage
the DITA elements and attributes.
Introducing
a Revolutionary New Tool
This is why Information Mapping, Inc. has developed Content Mapper for
DITA. “You can work with Content Mapper ‘out of the box,’”
says Doug Gorman, Information Mapping’s CEO. “The user interface
is the familiar Microsoft Word environment. The ‘ugly’ XML
is totally hidden from the user. Anyone can learn to use it quickly –
everyday writers, subject matter experts, managers, and other more casual
content providers.”
Content Mapper
for DITA works well for an organization that is just starting to “dabble
in DITA” and wants a simple authoring editor to get started or for
one that has a full-scale DITA solution in place but needs a way to bring
DITA authoring to casual writers. Content Mapper for DITA can be purchased
as a stand-alone application or installed as an integrated, server-based
solution with support for the most popular CMS repositories.
Technical Writers, Information Designers and Architects, Content Management
Taskforce/Team Members, and IT Professionals and Managers will be especially
interested in this new product.
