April 3 - 5 Conference

Where
  The Hyatt at Fisherman's Wharf,
  San Francisco, CA
Are you moving your information to the web? Reusing content among multiple print and online deliverables? Sharing content among departments such as training, marketing, editorial, and technical information development? Are you restricting some content for internal use only or directing it to specific targeted user communities? Are you faced with a challenging, multi-faceted user environment but tied down with only document blobs at your disposal?
Join those in the forefront of component information management at the 8th Annual Content Management Strategies conference. Learn to create modular, topic-based content, ready for assembly into compound documents, and customized for targeted delivery. Take content embedded in those massive tomes and move critical components to the precise points where they are neededâin print or on the web.
Content Management Strategies 2006 brings you three essential tracks. Focus on management and planning or technical design and implementation, and learn how to implement the DITA standard from the experts. At CM Strategies, youâll find a returning community of information developers and publishers who value building core content as much as its presentation and delivery.
April 10 - 12 Conference Since 1995, the InterDoc Symposium is the ideal platform to promote Enterprise Content Management solutions and meet with management and technical professionals from business, government and key organizations. The event provides a forum for users, partners and industry experts to present their latest findings and explore innovative ideas.
InterDoc is pleased to announce that the InterDoc Symposium 2006 will be held at the Fairmount Château Laurier, April 10-12, 2006 in Ottawa.
April 11 - 12 Conference We our pleased to announce our upcoming event, the DESIGN IT! Conference 2006 Spring, to be held under the theme âCMS and Its Vast Potential for IT Design.â The event will be held over two-days from April 11-12, 2006 at the Akihabara Convention Hall in Tokyo, Japan. The main purpose of this conference is to explore the possibilities for integrating IT and design.
Theme
This year's conference theme is Content Management (CM), and the conference will be structured around two highly related frameworks of Information Architecture and Interaction.
Speakers
At this year's event, we invite two experts in the area of Content Management and Information Architecture, from the United States to share with us their knowledge, experience, and visions.
Peter Morville
Bob Doyle
Peter Morville
Peter Morville founded the Information Architecture Research Institute (Japan Division) as well as the Information Architecture professional community. Mr. Morville has also been a major force in founding the CMS expert community.
He co-authored the book Information Architecture for the World Wide Web.
His most recent book Ambient Findability (O'Reilly & Associates Inc) released last October has received a great deal of attention as proposing new ways to think about online information searches. He will be traveling around Japan and the U.S. to speak about his book and his ideas.
Bob Doyle
Bob Doyle is the head of CMS Review which is a comprehensive CMS information site. Mr. Doyle also helped to found CM Professionals (CM Pros) a practitioner/expert community for content management which currently consists of 700 members and is the world's largest professional community of its kind. He is a contributing editor of EContent Magazine.
Other sessions
Other sessions includes presentations on CMS market and product trends as well as case studies in various Asian countries including Japan, illuminating the state of CMS around the world today. Through the "Interaction" sessions, we hope to explore creative ways to achieve "ease of use in products and services" and "creation of new user experience" which are essential in establishing products and services in organizations.

Everybody knows they need Content management. CM technologies are now mainstream and need to be part of all major enterprise applications, and integrated into IT architectures and infrastructures. But what does that mean? To some people content management is all about web publishing, or building Intranets, to others it means managing multiple, perhaps all, types of unstructured data. Still to others, the term might be associated with a particular aspect of managing information, such as creating it, searching for it, organizing it, transforming it, or sharing it. In San Francisco we will be focused on the following topics: Enterprise DRM * Content Management * Document & Records Policy
April 27 Workshop Events submitted via web form.
Content management systems are billed as solutions to all of your Web site woes. They can also cost your organization hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why do so many CMS projects fail?
They fail because companies don’t recognize that content management is a process, not a technology, and requires planning to ensure success. We have seen again and again that expensive technological solutions are ignored when they don't meet your organization’s needs and expectations. Personal experience with an enterprise CMS as well as work with several clients has led us to develop a series of steps that will help you use your CMS efficiently.
Topics we'll cover include:
Building your team
Assessing your content
Vendor selection
How to work with IT
Templates and components
Metadata and taxonomies
Content migration
Whether this is your first time considering a content management system, or you’ve been burned by failed implementations in the past, we can help you do it right.
This workshop is suitable for:
Web managers planning a CMS installation
Information architects
Visual designers
Writers, editors, and other content producers
Project managers

Hosted by CSW Group, the XML Summer School combines an innovative curriculum with world renowned speakers, to bring you an XML event like no other.
The XML Summer School programme features three main tracks to provide a rich learning experience for delegates with any level of background knowledge, so whether you are a complete beginner, or need to expand your existing XML skill set there is something for you in the curriculum. Plus, there is the flexibility of either registering as a full delegate and combining seminars from any of the three main tracks, or selecting individual tracks for a more focused curriculum.
The learning doesn’t stop in the classroom either – the social events provide the ideal platform for networking with your fellow delegates or extracting information from the speakers on a one-to-one basis. Some delegates argue that the networking and learning experiences outside the classroom are as valuable as that in the classroom.
If you need to learn all there is to know about XML and related technologies, then the XML Summer School is the place for you.

Session description:
Google quietly entered the Enterprise Search market in early 2002. Analyst firms dismissed it as a tool for sophisticated environments, assigning it to the realms of inexpensive, simple, DIY search. The product line has grown since then, and has gone on the offensive in terms of marketing. New capabilities, notably the ability to integrate with Google Desktop Search for Enterprise, are renewing calls to "just get Google." Is it right for your organization? Perhaps. Join us as we discuss the factors an organization ought to consider before making the switch, including administration capabilities, focused collections, metadata and taxonomy use, customizations and more.
Is it To Be, or Not to Be? We'll help you decide.

Process automation is essential to the deployment of imaging systems, from orchestrating front-end capture to routing documents through the step by step completion of tasks. Both buyers and sellers recognize the importance of process automation and workflow, but the deployment techniques vary considerably. Some choose to use simple notification via email, while others use work queues. Yet the jump from workflow routing of images to enterprise BPM is significant, and often the needs and requirements are considerably different. This AIIM Webinar will focus on process automation of image intensive applications within the enterprise content management marketplace. We will provide a brief background on some of the challenges in the market today, and then dive into lessons learned by our clients.
The session will conclude with a Q&A section.
- Processing images almost always requires some form of workflow
- Document capture is more complex than anticipated
- Document workflow is very different than BPM
- Metrics and measurement are critical measurable payback

About Apache Lenya
**********************
Apache Lenya https://lenya.apache.org is based on Apache Cocoon https://cocoon.apache.org, the XML publishing framework from the Apache Software Foundation. Apache Cocoon has been widely adopted in recent years and has become the defacto standard for XML publishing.
It delivers a wide range of functionality, from generation of HTML, WML, XML, PDF, SVG and RTF from a single data source, interfaces to various databases over JDBC as well as LDAP.
Apache Lenya integrates the BXE, Kupu and Xopus WYSIWYG editors. Apache Lenya makes use of official W3C standards wherever possible: XML, XSLT, XML Schema, XPath, XPointer, XLink, XInclude. In a departure from other CMS, Apache Lenya stores not only content in XML, but also CMS functionality such as user management, access control, revision control and workflow management. Customization of Apache Lenya is mostly done with further XML technologies such as XSLT and XSP. Java code is only necessary in special cases.
Apache Lenya is built up from individual modules written in Java that extend Cocoon with CMS functionality: Access Controller, User Administration, Editor Interfaces, Revision Controller, Scheduler, Workflow Manager, Publisher / Replicator, Dependency Manager, Forms Editor, Import-/Export-Functionality. Since these modules are based on XML themselves, they can be exchanged by modules from other vendors (Open Source or proprietary) as needed.

LISA is coming to the Big Apple! New York is renowned for its energy and international outlook. As the U.S.'s primary gateway to the world it is a fitting home for the 2006 LISA GLobal Strategies Summit, which brings together leaders in international business, technology development, and global processes. LISA events are known worldwide for their breadth of perspective and their ability to bring together all the players involved in making international business a reality. Come join such organizations as IBM, HP, Computer Associates, the European Union, Comsys, and Dell for three days of in-depth discussion on how to successfully meet the requirements of diverse markets. Featured speakers include IBMâÂÂs April Singer, content-management visionary Anne Rockley, DellâÂÂs Michael MacGregor, and HPâÂÂs Arnaud Daix. Success in a global business environment is based on two factors: knowledge about international business and the ability to go from knowledge to effective practice. If the first skill sets executives apart from the crowd of would-be international business leaders, the second is what gives them the ability to produce a profitable ROI as they open new markets and successfully support customers around the globe.
For over fifteen years LISA has succeeded in helping business leaders acquire the practical knowledge and skills it takes to implement their global vision and make it a reality. It has also introduced them to the business partners who play a key. More than at any point in the past, the increasing integration of the global economy has made it vital for even smaller businesses in industries such as automotive, medical services, law, and manufacturing to understand how to access global markets and to respond effectively to challenges from halfway around the world. |

ELearning can be an effective and innovative way of delivering training content by electronic methods, providing an efficient and consistent means of conveying information across the organisation and enhancing employee comprehension of key issues. Additionally, with technological advances constantly taking place, eLearning can allow for a broad range of delivery methods to best suit organisational structure and culture.
However, whilst many organisations have either implemented eLearning programmes, or at least examined what eLearning can offer in terms of advancements in learning and development, many fail to fully grasp its potential. Key to the success of eLearning as a training device is ensuring that the programme you deliver is user-friendly, able to adapt to the needs of your organisation, and that you establish a broader framework to integrate it into your learning and development strategy.
This two-day interactive masterclass will provide you with an opportunity to engage with the course leaders and other attendees to really improve your understanding of how to get your eLearning initiative operating to its full advantage. You will leave this masterclass enthused and full of new ideas to implement in your workplace.
July 26 - 28 Open Publish is an annual conference for people who create, manage and publish information across traditional and electronic media.
Open
Publish 2006 will be the sixth annual conference for people who create, manage
and publish information across traditional and electronic media.
What was clear at Open Publish 2005 is that battles over publishing technology
are largely resolved. With even the formidable Microsoft Office file formats
now migrating to open standards, it is clear that proprietary technology is
no longer acceptable to users. 2005 also
saw the introduction of the âmash-upsâ where
developers started connecting together their own code with popular sites such
as Google Maps and Yahooâs Flickr. It is in this context that the 2006
Open Publish conference will shift focus from technology to practice. As standards
level the technological playing field, the key success factor will be the
capability and experience of the practitioners.
Therefore, Open Publish 2006 will continue to focus on the key areas of interest
such as single-source publishing and web content management, however this
year will largely be from a perspective of methodologies, case studies, best
practice, project management and human factors, rather than technology standards.
We are pleased to announce that the Call
for Papers is now open and we look
forward to yet another year of increased participation from the local and
international community.

Description:
Does "social tagging" and "folksonomy" obviate the need for a formal taxonomy?
We don't think so, but they do have value in allowing emerging trends to be recognized, as a source of candidate terms and as a way to have specific communities self aggregate.
We'll hear from several practitioners and case studies on social tagging and show you what is possible and what is practical.

Key issues and concepts in social tagging and folksonomies
The benefits of social tagging in an enterprise setting
Advanced uses of social tagging
