From Legacy Systems to DITA: Case Studies in Successful Migration
17.02.2025 | 3:50 – 4:30 pm
Karsten Schrempp and Sofia Darie
The transition from an existing authoring system to structured content management with DITA poses major challenges for everyone involved. One of the first hurdles is the question of where to start and how to establish a reliable migration process. Based on our experience as a company that has successfully migrated legacy content from various structured and unstructured systems to DITA-compliant formats for several clients, we are able to define a clear roadmap. This roadmap outlines every critical step, from analyzing existing content, defining mapping rules and adapting the DTD, to ensuring a smooth migration that optimizes content reuse and consistency.
In this presentation, a successful case study of two clients’ migration from legacy systems to DITA will be presented. A comprehensive mapping process was used to relate existing content elements to DITA structures. In addition, the DTD was customized to reflect each client’s unique content types and specific requirements.
This experience provided valuable insight into the implementation and integration of DITA. The presentation will explore the intricacies of the migration process, highlighting key challenges and solutions, CMS integration, making the business case for DITA.
