Abstract

Autodata's core business is the research, compilation and maintenance of technical information for use in automotive workshops for the repair of cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles. Experiencing a shift in demand from printed titles to electronic media as preferred source of technical information, Autodata decided to base its content creation on XML. This presentation describes the progression from legacy content conversion to XML authoring and outlines the results that have been realized to date.
