Jim Tivy is the CTO at Bluestream and a product architect of the XDocs DITA CCMS and the XDelivery Documentation Portal.
In the past he was a member of the W3C XQuery Working Group and architected a commercial XML database.
He was also a member of the OASIS DITA TC for many years.
Data models provide an essential tool for understanding DITA and the systems that work with DITA.
In this talk we explore some key use cases and concepts of DITA and how they are represented in a formal data model. We then trace the DITA model as it flows through a CCMS and finally out to readers.
