Overcoming Challenges - Editing DITA XML content with AI Tools (Presentation)

14 Apr 2025

Read time: 2 minute(s)

The DITA XML standard is recognized (for good reason) for its versatile reuse capabilities, which allows for creating content that is consistent and can be used to single-source the entire publication needs of a company.

AI editing tools can bring lots of extra benefits for technical documentation writers, capabilities for re-writing content to improve readability, grammar checking, content generation, generating reports, and much more.

How do these benefits interact with the DITA XML features (content reuse, specialization) and how can AI tools be developed to work better with these DITA XMl specific features?

The presentation below enumerates various useful AI-related actions and checks how they interact with DITA XML content, especially with DITA XML features such as specialization, content reuse, or filtering. It all considers how the AI actions can be made more DITA XML-aware to be better integrated with a particular organization's needs.
