Assistance with adopting DITA and CMS

DITA is the abbreviation for Darwin Information Typing Architecture.
Formulated by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS), this is an architecture used for preparing, managing, and using data that conforms to XML. It is characterized by its comprehensive management of components by splitting documents into units of four or five sentences, enabling reuse of data in differing contexts and allowing for output in different kinds of formats such as PDF or HTML.

DITA has already been widely adopted in Europe and the U.S. Manufacturers all use DITA to efficiently produce and manage massive documents that are updated highly frequently.

Human Science participates in DITA Consortium Japan as a DITA promoter, engaging in efforts to popularize DITA and providing specialized services corresponding to DITA.

We also offer production proposals in line with customer requests from when DITA is adopted until it goes into operation.

DITA installation support services
- Manual and document reorganization
- Manual re-writing
- Modularization and topic writing (in the case of adoption of DITA)
- Topic translation
- Coding and XML editing
- CMS selection and installation support
- CMS operations support

Additionally, we also undertake consulting pertaining to adoption of systems (CMS) to efficiently manage and use DITA- AND XML-compatible documents.

We are able to assist client companies select and install the most appropriate CMS by investigating various kinds of CMSs and coordinating with vendors.

Assistance with adopting machine translation

Among Japanese companies as well, an increasing number have been adopting machine translation (MT) for the purposes of cutting translation costs, reducing translation times, and exchanging information in real time.
It is not just a dream, either, that translation costs can be cut by 30% and the time by 50% while maintaining translation quality at a human level by using machine translation.

Human Science does not have its own machine translation system and we can propose the optimum machine translation system and process that conforms to requirements and objectives from a neutral position. We propose specific plans leading up to adoption, after conducting prior cost-benefit analyses and elucidating the benefits of adoption.

Please feel free to discuss any of the following types of problems with us.
- You want to cut the costs and time it takes to translate large amounts of documents
- You want to efficiently translate the large numbers of application forms and technical documents you have
- You want to disseminate data in numerous languages as quickly as possible
