Services

I provide architectural consulting for DITA-based documentation environments that require structural clarity, scalable reuse, or disciplined migration planning.

My work focuses on strengthening the underlying content system—improving how information is modeled, organized, and maintained over time.

Structural Optimization & Map Architecture

When DITA ecosystems have grown organically and structural clarity has eroded.

Engagement Scope

  • DITA map restructuring and boundary clarification

  • Topic granularity analysis

  • Reuse modeling and alignment

  • Structural simplification strategies

Typical Outcomes

  • Reduced duplication

  • Clearer content ownership

  • Stronger long-term maintainability

Reuse Modeling & Content Consolidation

When content duplication increases maintenance effort and translation cost.

Engagement Scope

  • Reuse opportunity analysis

  • Centralized reference modeling

  • Conref/keyref alignment strategies

  • Variant and dependency review

Typical Outcomes

  • Measurable duplication reduction

  • Improved consistency across contexts

  • Scalable reuse patterns

Field-Level UI Documentation Architecture

When UI documentation lacks structural separation between field definitions, screen descriptions, and task instructions.

Engagement Scope

  • Field identification modeling

  • Separation of field, screen, and task layers

  • Reusable reference topic design

  • Alignment between UI behavior and documentation

Typical Outcomes

  • Consistent field behavior documentation

  • Centralized update control

  • Reduced maintenance overhead

Migration Planning (Structure-First Approach)

When transitioning legacy documentation into DITA or refactoring an existing implementation.

Engagement Scope

  • Structural migration blueprint

  • Topic modeling strategy

  • Reuse planning framework

  • Risk and sequencing assessment

Typical Outcomes

  • Reduced migration risk

  • Prevented structural duplication

  • Sustainable post-migration architecture
