STC Summit 2017

Have you ever wanted to know what information typing is and its significance for structured, topic-based authoring? Where did concept, task, and reference come from anyway? Decades of research and practice have shaped the tools and standards we often take for granted in the technical communication community. This session examines the relevant research behind structured authoring practices to reveal fundamental concepts many of us may have been missing. It takes you through history and science behind structured authoring to discuss many of the best practices writers at Precision Content employ.
