Meet us at the digital tcworld conference 2020

October 02, 2020

Interesting topics, discussions with colleagues and the latest from the Techcom industry — that's what the annual tcworld conference is all about and that's why we are looking forward to it. This year, the conferene will take place digitally from November 2 - 6, 2020.

In our presentations  we'll talk about technical standards for intelligent information, the semantic model iiRDS in practice, a hybrid package for the compatibility of the iiRDS and VDI 2770 stands, and a word snake charming with Python.

Here are our presentations in detail. Please note that have not translated the descriptions of the German presentations.

Alles Standard oder was? Welche technischen Standards Sie für intelligente Informationen brauchen (Vortrag)

Ulrike Parson and Dr. Martin Kreutzer (empolis) 
November 2,  2020, 9.30 a.m. – 10.15 a.m.

Chatbots und Content-Delivery-Plattformen benötigen intelligente Informationen. Um diese liefern zu können, müssen viele Unternehmen in neue Prozesse für die Erstellung, Verwaltung und Publikation von Content investieren. Bei der Umstellung können technische Standards den Aufwand und die Risiken reduzieren. Der Vortrag zeigt anhand der Prozesskette für intelligente Informationen, welche Standards es gibt und welche Vorteile sie bieten.

Your Brain Doesn’t Like Complicated! Keep Your Graphics Simple (Vortrag)

Anton Bollen (TechSmith Corp.) and Leonie Saremba
November 2, 2020, 9.30 a.m. - 10.15 a.m. 

Have you ever wondered how graphics work on our minds? In this joint presentation, you can immerse yourself into the Gestalt Principles and experience how concepts like symmetry, anomaly, and connectivity affect the users’ perception of visuals. Armed with this knowledge, you will then learn how to apply these principles to the visual design of your information: Graphics and screenshots that are simpler to understand and easier to consume.

iiRDS anwenden, ein Blick in die Praxis (Tutorial)

Ulrike Parson and Dr. Achim Steinacker (i-views)
November 3, 2020, 12.30 p.m. – 1.30 p.m.

iiRDS ist der neue Standard für die Auslieferung intelligenter Informationen. Doch was beinhaltet der Standard konkret? Wie wendet man ihn an und was bedeutet iiRDS für meine tägliche Arbeit? In diesem Tutorial lernen Sie das semantische Modell von iiRDS detailliert kennen. Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie aus den Erwartungen und Anwendungsfällen Ihrer Dokumentationsnutzer Metadaten für Content-Delivery ableiten.

Torte und Waffeln! Das Hybrid-Paket für iiRDS und VDI 2770 (Vortrag)

Mark Schubert and Jan Oevermann (plusmeta)
November 4, 2020, 12.30 p.m. - 1.15 p.m.

Die Entscheidung an der Kuchentheke fällt zwar schwer, ist aber viel einfacher als die Wahl eines Austauschformats für digitale Dokumentation. Zwei Standards buhlen um die Aufmerksamkeit der Unternehmen, iiRDS und VDI 2770. Doch ist nicht beides möglich? Die Antwort ist ein Hybrid-Paket, das konform zu VDI 2770 und iiRDS ist. Ein Leitfaden des iiRDS-Konsortiums stellt dafür Transformationsregeln und Metadaten-Mapping bereit.

Charming the word snake: terminology work and language checking with Python (Tutorial)

Maximilian Rosin and Esther Strauch
November 6, 2020, 12.30 p.m. – 1.15 p.m.

Have you ever manually extracted terms from hundreds of documents? Do you regularly check dozens of topics for violations of writing rules? Do you sometimes feel that these tasks should be automated but enterprise-grade software is too expensive? If yes, then why not build your own tools? Using Python, we will write our own scripts for terminology extraction and language checking and apply them to real-world content.
