3. Introduction
• We will share our experience regarding the value proposition of
implementing and utilizing a CCMS to manage technical documentation for
a global audience.
• We will explore the value propositions that were put forth when the project
began and share what value propositions have been realized over the past
ten years.
• In addition, they will also examine and share those value propositions that
exist today and how companies who utilize a CCMS can benefit from these
opportunities.

23. What are the benefits of XML?
XML separates content from output form, so the same
content can be applied to different outputs such as PDFs,
HTML, help files, and more!

24. What is XML?
eXtensible Markup Language:
• Is a markup language that places identification and
structure on content.
• Consists of intermingled character data and markup.
• Is similar to HTML, except that XML tags and structure do
not conform to a universal standard. They can be defined
according to the needs of the organization.
24 HP Restricted
25. Examples of XML
Raw XML (Color used to better see content vs. tagging)
XML in Arbortext Editor (note that you can “see” the graphic)
