SDL LiveContent DITA
SDL LiveContent for DITA is an interactive delivery solution that enables you to publish content dynamically.
SDL LiveContent for DITA represents a new, dynamic publishing paradigm - one that surpasses the older, static approach to publishing. SDL LiveContent's dynamic approach enables you to deliver content targeted to the customers who need it, in the format they want, and for the situation in which they will use it. The dynamic quality of LiveContent is why we call it "live." It carries the full richness of the mark-up of your XML content, right up to the moment the content is requested - and only then does it pull from the repository the content for the specific product requested. It delivers that content in the language preferred by the user, and is tailored to their unique skill level.
- Living XML Content. SDL LiveContent's light-weight, high-performance, native XML database keeps your technical content in XML form until the instant it is accessed, when it is then formatted, filtered, and delivered to the person requesting it. This means that the information your users and clients receive is always relevant to the task at hand. The path from request to delivery is short, cost-effective and fully automated.
- Automatic Incremental Updates. SDL LiveContent ensures content is current , complete, and above all, accurate. It makes changes available as they occur. Only the changed topics are affected and the update packets can be pushed to the user if he or she is connected to the Web, or pulled when the user returns to the network after a period of being away.
- Ability to Support any XML DTD or Schema. Because SDL LiveContent can work equally well with any XML DTD or Schema, you are not bound to a particular content form or standard, but can even support multiple XML structures simultaneously within the same publication, integrating different schemas into your information products.
- Create Improved Information Products. SDL LiveContent can give you insight into what topics are most used and those that are seldom used or never accessed. It can also provide a feedback loop by which users can report errors, identify difficult instructions, suggest other topics, or propose different approaches that would make their jobs easier. The absence of such a feedback loop has been a challenge to publishers of product documentation for decades.
- A Platform Built on Standards. SDL LiveContent uses the family of XML technologies and universally available Web tools. Because LiveContent's technology is mainstream, you'll never have difficulty finding capable and affordable staff to support your publishing workflow.
