In choosing the initial publishing platforms for our model information mashups, we had the following objectives:
- Use DITA for our structured solution
- Combine the structured and unstructured information using HTML as the common denominator
- Minimize cost and complexity (for example, take advantage of native platform functionality and meet critical needs with custom scripting rather than expensive commercial products)
- Use the organization and semantics of the structured collection to establish and maintain overall information integrity
- Publish to popular, function-rich web content management system platforms
We selected WordPress 3.1.2 and Drupal 7 as our initial solution platforms.
