Structured Content: How AI and CDPs are Changing the Rules of Content Strategy

Recorded on June 18, 2025

Structured content is finally getting its moment. Long under appreciated outside the inner circle of tech comm professionals, it is now stepping in the spotlight. As a sine qua non for effective AI, structured content is driving a massive and urgent interest at the highest levels of organizations.

This unprecedented opportunity comes with a major shift in adoption strategy enabled by Content Delivery Platforms (CDPs). Going “delivery-first” rather than “structure-first” delivers early, visible outcomes across the enterprise, and paves the way for faster, broader adoption.

Join us for an insightful webinar with Frank Miller, thought leader in the information development industry and CEO of Ryffine, and Fabrice Lacroix, AI and search technology pioneer and CEO of Fluid Topics, as they share actionable strategies to:

- Turn the momentum of AI into enterprise buy-in for structured content initiatives

- Leverage your existing content with modern content delivery for early results across the company

- Navigate a more flexible, incremental adoption path of structured content with growing benefits along the way

Presented by Fabrice Lacroix and Frank Miller

Fabrice Lacroix is a serial entrepreneur and a technology pioneer. He has been working for 25 years on the development of innovative solutions around search technology, content enrichment and AI. He is the founder of Fluid Topics, the leading Content Delivery Platform that reinvents how users search, read and interact with technical documentation.

For nearly 20 years, Frank Miller has been in the trenches of structured content implementations.

Sometimes Words Have Two Meanings – Terminology as the Key for Readability and Translatability

Recorded on September 24, 2025

Watch

What makes a corporate language consistent? It is definitely a consistent style that makes a corporate language distinctive; however, the company's own vocabulary and typical corporate terminology are also of crucial importance. This vocabulary is not simply a list of words or a glossary. It is more than that. That is why we call it terminology.

This presentation shows what constitutes good terminology, how it is created and how it is used and how that terminology has an impact on many areas of a company. It is an important prerequisite for taxonomy and ontologies and has a positive influence on the quality of translations.

Presented by: Torsten Machert, Congree

Torsten studied Russian and Spanish. After he graduated at the Humboldt University, Berlin, he spent more that 20 years in the CMS business and became an industry expert in SGML and XML based management and publication processes.

Content Guardian Agents℠: Protect Your Terminology from AI Slop

Recorded on December 10, 2025

Subscribe

Watch

Generative AI promises unprecedented speed and scale. But this new frontier comes with a hidden risk: "AI slop." Without proper governance, AI models dilute brand voice, misuse technical terms, and introduce costly inconsistencies into your content ecosystem. The very terminology you've spent years curating is vulnerable to being overwritten by generic, incorrect, or "hallucinated" language.

This webinar introduces the concept of Content Guardian Agents℠ — automated systems that act as the essential quality gate between raw AI output and your audience. Learn how these agents ingest your established glossaries and terminology databases to validate, correct, and enforce your company's language standards in real-time. We will explore a practical framework for deploying these guardians within your existing workflows, ensuring every piece of AI-assisted content remains compliant, consistent, and clear.

Join us to discover how to move from being a reactive editor to a proactive architect of high-quality, AI-generated content. Walk away with a blueprint to harness the power of AI without sacrificing the precision of your terminology.

Presented by Christopher Carroll, Director of Product & Digital Marketing and Laura Harder, Linguistic Consultant at Markup AI

Winning the Budget Game: How Content Delivery Gets You Buy-In for Large Content Projects

January 12, 2022 Moving to structured authoring and implementing a CMS are critical projects that will generate long-term efficiency gains and significant savings. But before you get there, there are great hurdles to overcome. First and foremost, there's winning budget approval from your execs, who will have a singular focus on risk and ROI. Second, you need to maintain a high level of commitment and buy-in from those executives over the years that re-engineering of content production can last.

How much redundant content do I really have? Actualizing the reuse in our documentation

April 6, 2022 Content reuse is one of the many advantages of moving to DITA and a structured standard. It helps us reduce the amount of overall content we have, improve consistency, and decrease redundancy. However, it is difficult to visualize this value before the conversion takes place. Estimates can be off, and it is hardly ever clear how much content we can actually reuse from our documentation. Typos and partial matches only complicate our futile estimates. Narrowing the scope of this approximation by investigating similar matches in our source content before conversion can provide valuable insight to the potential benefits of moving to a structured standard. Join TJ Dhaliwal in this session as he uses Stilo’s Analyzer and Migrate to investigate source content for similar and exact matches. Then, further use that information to plan for conrefs, keyrefs, and topicrefs before any transformation takes place. Conclude by deduplicating exact topic matches and realizing some of the potential that was uncovered in the beginning. Presented by: TJ Dhaliwal is a Technical Sales Product Specialist at Stilo, helping customers uncover solutions to their content conversion needs. With a strong technical background in engineering combined with a passion for public speaking, he’s been able to successfully bridge the gaps between project stakeholders. As a problem solver, TJ has helped several enterprise-level companies convert tens of thousands of pages of their content to DITA. He’s recently taken lead on and helped bring to market Stilo’s newest product, Analyzer.
