Event: Presentation of Day Technology to EU Agencies

Last Friday I had a presentation at 11th ICTAC Meeting, hosted by the European University Institute in Florence. ICTAC is a periodic meeting of ICT (Information Communication Technology) managers from European Union Agencies. My presentation was titled "Standards-Based Solutions for EDRMS".

Slides are not available as it was not a public meeting, sorry. I presented Day's products, technologies, and standards on which they are based. This product stack can be used to build a document/records management system based on a central content repository, integrated with other available systems, and extended using the open architecture of Day products. The key building blocks for this kind of system are RESTful content applications and the feature-rich JCR content repository.

Presentations: recent and upcoming

This month has been full of presentations for me. Aside from some internal and some customer presentations, the two that are available online are my slides from Web Monday Stockholm, where I presented JCR, Sling and microjax. Peter Svensson invited me, so I also demonstrated the Dojo integration for µjax that allowed me to write a basic repository browser for a content repository in less than 50 lines of code.

Later that week I presented Content Fragmentation vs. Social Computing at the CeBIT Content Management Arena. The main idea of the talk is that social computing lives by its network effects, and that these network effects apply to people and to content. So the more content you have accessible and the more content and people can be connected to each other, the higher the value of your social application is. While mechanisms like OpenSocial, OpenID and DataPortability can help to a certain degree achieving higher content connectability at the application level, Day's CRX with its connector products allow integration at the content level with a proven and standardized API, namely JCR.

DocBook vs. DITA: Will the real standard please stand up?

I have been a documentation specialist for over eleven years and a steadfast supporter of DocBook for over six years. I'd tried my hand at DITA and gave it up as a fad; lots of bells and whistles, but too complicated to integrate. And couldn't DocBook do everything DITA promised anyway?

So when Allette Systems contacted me to speak on XML standards in Sydney Australia, I jumped at the chance to prove to the documentation world just how wonderful DocBook is and how DITA falls short. Fortunately, my in-depth research opened my eyes to the benefits and limitations of both. Are these two seemingly rival standards really that different? My presentation answers this question with comparative examples, and allows you, the audience, to decide for yourselves.
