Dottie O'Rourke, 650-344-1260 Dottie@TECHMarket.com Once an organization gets the green light to adopt a DITA strategy, the yellow light of caution quickly follows - usually in the planning stage - when someone realizes that the organization's content doesn't neatly fall into DITA's pre-defined categories of Concepts, Tasks or

In addition to reviewing issues to consider when evaluating the need to specialize, the Webinar will feature a walk-through of the steps to design a specialization, a live demonstration, and a practical example of how to specialize. -0- What: "Best Practices for DITA Specializations: What You Need to Know Before Specializing" Webinar in the XML Advisor Webinar Series Who: Tom Magliery, XML technology specialist, JustSystems When: Thursday, April 10, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time (10:00 a.m. Pacific time) How: Register for this free event at:
