ON DEMAND WEBINAR
Duration: 1 hour​

​
Regulatory submissions still are very much centered around “classic” documents: formatted PDFs. The common practice is still to write in Microsoft Word and copy and paste data manually. This intrinsically poses risk of inconsistencies; the inefficiency of the practice is increasingly problematic.

While documents are accompanied by structured XML for key-data and meta-data, documents and data are still “separate worlds.” Structured content has the potential to bridge them. Structured documents are component-based, contain included data and are largely created automatically. 

Companies are starting to roll-out structured content authoring management and authoring for various use-cases. In this talk, we shared successes and lessons from projects where we are involved:

• Content architecture definition: what does it mean, and why is it important?
• Components and reuse, how to find the best level of granularity.
• Content as data: how is semantic tagging different from formatting?  
• New ways of writing: how to engage writers and turn them into enthusiasts.
