Integrating API Reference Data With Product Documentation

Join Mel Davis and Vanessa Menzies-Flint, Reltio Technical Content team, in their journey to surface developer docs directly in the product documentation portal. They’ll demystify the complexities of synching developer-written OpenAPI source files to writer-managed ditamap files for final presentation in the product documentation portal. They’ll address additional dimensions for tech writers to influence the usability of API source documentation. Attendees will learn: * the benefits of making API source files available within product docs * the mechanics of integrating OpenAPI source files into a CCMS for presentation in a documentation portal (using Heretto) * strategies for collaborating with developers to improve the quality of API source files If you’re considering integrating an existing standalone developer portal into your product documentation portal–or are starting from scratch–this presentation will give you clear and actionable guidance.
