FrameMaker Markers - Standard Markers Used in Technical Writing?

Hi,
This may be more of a technical writing question, but I will be writing a number of different types of documents, including business processes, codes of practice, manuals, standards and work instructions.
I need to decide which metadata to capture, but I am new to metadata, and not entirely sure what I should be capturing.
Can anyone give me advice on typical markers that are used in technical documentation (other than the default ones)?
Thanks

The purpose of metadata, I'd say, is to make it easier to find information, documents and relationships: so it's the content of the document that determines what metadata might be useful. This assertion, though, is probably no help to you at all :-} The File info fields in FM aren't exactly rich, either.
Take a look at these references and see if they do better:
DITA metadata, from the DITA standard
the Dublin Core article in wikipedia
Marc, from the Library of Congress
Mind you, another side of the question is "How are you going to access this metadata?" The only environment I've come across where I can actually use metadata to retrieve files is my preferred DITA environment – XML Mind – which lets me search the contents of a ditamap for attribute/value pairs. (polite disclaimer: I'm not saying FM doesn't, just admitting I haven't got that far yet) Not sure whether FM marker information that doesn't show up on the output page (a .pdf, for instance) will be accessible outside FM.
Also, we're currently moving towards SharePoint for document management. Lots of metadata options, but only inside SharePoint – not in the document itself. (and the absence of a command-line query mechanism still bugs me)

How to get 3D coordinates of reflective markers using two cameras?

Hi,
I am very new to LabVIEW (in fact to any coding at all) and helping my adviser to get the 3D coordinates of a few reflective markers using two cameras. I am able to read the marker coordinates (x, y) from two cameras simultaneously by processing the data in real-time using codes generated from vision assistant. However, we want to get the depth position by triangulating the markers. I have seen stereo vision doing something similar to this, but I think the stereo vision may not work with our calibration frame (markers) and we don’t need the whole depth image, but only the maker’s z coordinates. I also want to use Region of Interest to mask out other regions that are creating reflections. However, I am not sure if triangulation would work if we select region of interest (as the origin of the camera coordinates would change after selecting ROI). I saw this link http://kwon3d.com/theory/dlt/dlt.html#3d where they used DLT (direct linear transformation) method, but it is too much to code from the beginning. Is there a subVI in LabVIEW or some sort of prewritten code that can be customized? Can anyone please give me some advice on how to solve this problem?

Well in theory, if you know exactly where the cameras are pointed, how far apart they are, and how far the reflector images are above or below the horizon and to the right or left of center line, a little simple math should give you the answer. Concerning the ROI I would think all you needed to know was where the ROI was relative to horizon and centerline. You could then calculate an absolute position from there, which would also give you the angles you would need.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any readily availble code. But I'm sure there is some! With the emphasis on FIRST robotics, I got to believe that judging distances in 3D space is something for which there is a lot of code.

Text Marks
Using text marks for cross-referencing documents: You can use text marks for adding cross-references in your documents. When you insert a text mark before a section, you assign a name to it and add it to the list of text marks. Later, if you want to refer the reader to a specific section, you would simply insert the text mark's page number by choosing the text mark's name from the list of text marks. PageStream will then insert the page number automatically without making it necessary for you to search for the corresponding section to find the correct page number. Additionally, if you later edit the text or move sections so as to change the text marks' locations, the text marks' page numbers will be updated automatically by PageStream.

How to add new fields in sap copied standard form using itcsy structure

hi guys,
i want add some fields in sap script copied standard form using itcsy structure.
let me know the procedure with any example.
thanks,
anitha.

Hii anitha
plz c code below
Syntax goes like this
/: PERFORM <form> IN PROGRAM <prog>
/: USING &INVAR1&
/: USING &INVAR2&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR1&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR2&
/: ENDPERFORM
INVAR1 and INVAR2 are variable symbols and may be of any of the four SAPscript symbol types.
OUTVAR1 and OUTVAR2 are local text symbols and must therefore be character strings.
Example:
In script form
/: PERFORM READ_TEXTS IN PROGRAM 'Z08M1_FORM_EKFORM1'
/: USING &EKKO-EKORG&
/: USING &EKPO-WERKS&
/: USING &EKKO-EKGRP&

What Metadata Standard is used for Face Regions?

Nice to see that LR6 now has support for Face Recognition and Face Regions. However, nowhere in the online help is it stated explicitly what metadata standards are used for the image regions.
I would hope that as Adobe is a member of the Metadata Working Group, then LR6 is using the metadata standard specified by the MWG for image regions.

It's the MWG.
Within Lightroom itself, the face regions are recorded inside the catalogue and this data is associated with keywords.
When you export a photo, unchecking the option Remove Person Info, the names are also written to the IPTC Extension Person Shown and the MWG Regions too.
I suggest you export a photo as above and examine its metadata in the Advanced tab of Bridge's FIle Info dialog box, or in some other metadata tool.

Use of technical business content

help me about, what is the technical business content, what is the use of technical business content in the projects.
please give detail explanation with suitable scenario
thanks & Regards
JPReddyM

JP,
Technical content is SAP delivered and is used for monitoring the system activities. The activities related to loading, query executing and other administration activities can be analyzed from the technical content infrastructure. Once you install this and enable objects for statistics, the details of various activities are picked from respective tables and loaded to technical content cubes and ODS's which can be analyzed with the technical content queries.
For ex: You can analyze the query performace, user accessing that query and compare with previous activity.

Problem with changing the Standard Price using MR21

I'm upgrading the system from 4.6C to ECC6.
Upgrading the Standard Price works normally in 4.6C. However, in ECC6, I notice that the data saved to CDPOS table is wrongly formatted. Therefore the other programs fail to read from this table.
Standard price is supposed to be right-justified. But it not like that in ECC6.
Can anyone tell me we should I look into to control the process of saving the data to CDPOS?
Thanks.
Han

Thanks Amuktha.
The link doesn't seem to help resolving my problem.
The changes is saved into CDPOS in the field Value_New (CHARACTER 254) in the way that the actual data can be retrieved by:
value_new+238
But any update to the standard price using MR21 now result in the value of Value_New that require:
value_new+7
to get the actual data.
Further more, in the old system, the standard price value in the decimal form like: "55.66" will be save to VALUE_NEW as "5566". So to get the real value, the system need to devide the value by 100 to get the actual new price.
In the ECC6 system, it is exactly the same as what we input: "55.66".
My question is: Is there an user exit, BADI or any way that can interfere the process of saving the data to CDPOS so that I can ensure the new Price will be save as "5566" and can be extracted using VALUE_NEW+238?
Thanks.
Han

Cisco Prime Infra 2.1 Standard Install using OVA File HD Requirements

   Hi guys,
       I wanna install the Cisco Prime Infra Standard 2.1 using the OVA File but I haven't 900 HD Space continuous in Storage.
   Two questions
       01) The Virtual Machine allocate this space (900 HD) during the install or allocate dynamically as needed ?
       02) There is a option to install the Standard Version using less HD space ?
      Thanks
      My Best Regards
      Andre Gustavo Lomonaco

Initially we installed medium when Prime 2.0 came out, however about 3 months lately we needed to upgrade to standard/pro. Upgrading the CPU/Core was seamless
Install a smaller OVA with enough cpu/cores for the standard and just add disk space later on
https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/9871606/adding-disk-space-prime-infrastructure
Its not a recommended practice but there are work around...

How do we identify the standard texts used in a sap script?

Is there any way that i can identify the standard texts used in SAP scripts?
Not manually going to each window in the script and checking.
Will there be any table where I can look ?
Thanks,

Hi,
GO to the forminfo of the sapscript in SE71..and then search for INCLUDE

How I generate index markers using Applescript and tagged text!

One of the challenges I've faced in automating the book making process using Applescript with inDesign is that there don't seem to be any AS commands for making new index markers (anyone please correct me I if I'm wrong about this).
I've tried various js scripts which do an OK job, but they don't make the actual native markers. This means you have to wait until the book (consistiing of multiple ID files) is complete (so that all the page numbers have been established) to generate the index.
Recently, I read a tweet from someone with a link to a technique which uses tagged text and find and replace with GREP to edit the tags, inserting the tagged text index tags in the text file and then re-placing the text file in the ID page. In itself, this works great. But I'm dealing with literally thousands of separate text frames, none of them connected in a story.
The books typically consist of around 1200 pages with almost that many people, each of whose names I need to index with "Lastname, Firstname" references. And those particular strings don't (can't) appear anywhere on the pages. There will also be about 50 ID files all combined into one book. So it is imperative that I have ID generate the native index markers. To help keep things straight and efficient, I'm creating separate small text frames to hold the lastname, firstname strings. I created an object style for these frames which sets the attributes to "nonprinting", and I place the frames in the margin.
Then I realized that I don't actually have to have ID export the tagged text files for each. I exported one prototype and copied its tags to properties in my script, and then I concatenate them with the respective list item values I import from the database.
At the proper point in the page building script, I tell "textwrangleer" to make a new document, set its contents to the index string for the current record, save it to disk, overwriting the previous one, and then tell ID to "place" it in the index text frame, which generates the ID index mark.
I actually got an AS error when I first tried this: "file doesn't exist" or some such. Then I realized that the "place" command was happening too soon, so I inserted a .5 sec delay in the script, and it worked.
This is actually my first major script for actual work, and I'm so excited about it! I promises to cut production time down to about a thenth of what it was.
I still have to add some logic to branch between handlers with slightly different parameters for five different page formats, but the same page building handler will work on all of them.

A note on this:
Daniel Swanson wrote:

These scripts typically search for words and immediately write out the page numbers they are found on -- one shot indexing.
The solution is to add both the topic and its page reference to the current document's index:
if (app.activeDocument.indexes.length == 0)
app.activeDocument.indexes.add();
app.activeDocument.indexes[0].topics.add(app.selection[0].contents).pageReferences.add(app.selection[0]);
The first lines only make sure there is an index to add to (per default, a new document has none).
The last line adds a selected word to the index (it must be a plain text string, hence the use of its 'contents'), and then adds a reference to the selection in the text itself.
Adding the same word a second time will for a change (quite untypically for ID's Scripting) not result in an error but simply add another page reference to the existing one.
When doing this in a loop: remember to work backwards, because the index marker itself gets inserted into the running text, and that will throw off your text indices.

Chapter Markers using GarageBand

I'm posting this in both Apple TV and Quicktime forums.
I have successfully used GarageBand 3.0.4 to easily and quickly add chapter markers to H.264 Apple TV movies. Much faster than the QT Pro text list method.
Started with an iMovie containing titles and chapters, exported to Apple TV format (m4v file using codec H.264). Opened GarageBand using New Movie Score, set preferences to Export>Movie Full Quality. In Control menu, turned off Snap to Grid. Selected the video track, and track editor allows adding/naming chapters.
Don't worry if the video & audio tracks don't match up. I used my iMovie project timestamps for the chapter times in GarageBand, then verified by watching in GB video preview window. If one has 5 second titles, it's not an issue to have to mess with tweaking the exact timing. One can also add sounds, picts, etc with GB, although I prefer iMovie for better control & tools.
The Share>Export to Disc saving process is quick, and yields the same quality H.264 file with a slightly bigger size. Imports to iTunes, syncs with Apple TV, and shows the chapter titles on the timeline when viewed on the tv (same quality as original ATV movie).
The following are links to some previous forum discussions about chapters:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5265574#5265574
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5266201#5266201

Additional note. While the GarageBand chapters and audio modifications have worked great in several H.264 movies, I was apparently wrong about adding photos or mixing in short title clips in the video track. The GB video editing is too basic, and can handle only one video in the video track when using Movie Score mode (might be ok in Podcast mode, which is unacceptable for Apple TV quality).
Best way is to get the movie totally set with titles etc in iMovie or FCP, then export as Apple TV movie, which can be imported to GB for chapters. I have noted that the chapter timing needs to be slightly ahead of the apparent desired spot in the GB video track (15-30 frames), in order for it to hit correctly when viewing on the Apple TV. Using 5-6 second title sections makes it easy since one can place the chapter marker anyplace in the title area.

Conditional Text Markers, using parentheses

Hi there,
I'm generating one set of help files for three different users. I understand how to limit what each individual user types see. However, my problem arises when there are a few topics, or a few sections within a topic, that I'm supposed to reveal to two users, but not the third. Do I need to generate additional versions of the help for the "pairs" of users? Or is there a way to use parentheses, or something, to isolate. For example: User1 OR (User1 AND User 2).
Feedback is greatly appreciated.
Tom

You say you understand how to limit what User 1 and User 2 see but you haven't shared your understanding with us. Are you generating different outputs for them or are you using Content Categories to provide a dropdown that allows them to choose their user type?
The latter would allow you to set up various outputs that can be viewed, one of those could exclude what you don't want User 3 to see. However, whilst it would give them access to help that would not include the excluded content, they would still be able to select User 1 or User 2 and see it. It depends on how strict you have to be with what you do not want User 3 to see.
If it is vital they simply cannot see it anyway they try, then you need two outputs. The only other way would be to user Rh Server as well where access control can be enforced. See the RoboServer forum where this has been discussed recently.
