Content and Complexity
Information design is an emerging area in technical communication, garnering increased attention in recent times as more information is presented through both old and new media. In this volume, editors Michael J. Albers and Beth Mazur bring together scholars and practitioners to explore the issues facing those in this exciting new field. Treating information as it applies to technical communication, with a special emphasis on computer-centric industries, this volume delves into the role of information design in assisting with concepts, such as usability, documenting procedures, and designing for users. Influential members in the technical communication field examine such issues as the application of information design in structuring technical material; innovative ways of integrating information design within development methodologies and social aspects of the workplace; and theoretical approaches that include a practical application of information design, emphasizing the intersection of information design theories and workplace reality. This collection approaches information design from the language-based technical communication side, emphasizing the role of content as it relates to complexity in information design. As such, it treats as paramount the rhetorical and contextual strategies required for the effective design and transmission of information. Content and Complexity: Information Design in Technical Communication explores both theoretical perspectives, as well as the practicalities of information design in areas relevant to technical communicators. This integration of theoretical and applied components make it a practical resource for students, educators, academic researchers, and practitioners in the technical communication and information design fields.
Managing Your First S1000D Project
ASD S1000D is an internationally recognized and utilized standard for creating technical data. A common source database is used to contain all of the files that make up a technical publication, and all content is modular. Managing an S1000D project well requires a lot of up-front planning and preparation. There are so many considerations that taking on such a project can be quite overwhelming. This book, Managing Your First S1000D Project, is a guide to help you, particularly through the most difficult part of an S1000D project: Set-up. The second edition contains elaboration on important concepts, more focus on the most current Issues of S1000D, a better chapter structure, and more illustrations of important content.
