DITA Europe 2025: Migrating Legacy Content and iiRDS Content Delivery with the DITA-OT. With Marion Knebel and Mark Schubert
Meet us at DITA Europe 2025, which will take place in Copenhagen on February 17-18, 2025. Marion Knebel and Mark Schubert will present two topics this year:
One Size Fits All – Considerations for Migrating Legacy Content
February 17, 4:40 p.m.
Switching to DITA offers opportunities, but also brings challenges. Migrating legacy content in particular shows that automated solutions can be helpful, but without semantic customisation, there is often no added value.
When is auto-migration useful? When is human intervention required? In their presentation, Marion Knebel and Mark Schubert share best practices and evaluate the use of AI in migration.

Enrich your DITA: iiRDS Content Delivery with the DITA-OT
February 18, 2025, 1 p.m.
DITA is an open standard that is supported by various tools for authoring and publishing content. However, DITA content often has to be delivered to another system that does not understand DITA, such as a content delivery platform. Information can be lost in the process.
iiRDS is also an open standard that can be used to exchange technical documentation between systems. The iiRDS plugin for the DITA Open Toolkit efficiently converts DITA files into iiRDS packages. Marion Knebel and Mark Schubert show the creation process and explain how iiRDS metadata is generated from DITA metadata and how all information is preserved.
