Josh Anderson
Information Architect at Paligo
Josh Anderson has built a career at the crossroads of content strategy, structured authoring, and information architecture. After earning his Master of Information in Canada, he joined Precision Content in Toronto as an Associate Information Architect. Today he brings that expertise to Paligo, focusing on structured authoring languages such as DITA and DocBook, alongside broader content strategy and information architecture. With over five years of industry experience, he has spoken at multiple conferences and taught courses on information architecture.
Why are you passionate about structured content and CCMS?
I really enjoy setting up systems that can publish your content flawlessly and style it the way you want automatically.
How do you see AI and automation changing technical documentation?
I think that the primary audiences for technical documentation will become LLMs and AI agents.
What's one piece of advice you'd give to a team just starting with structured authoring?
Establish patterns. Be consistent. Use the same elements and attributes the same way each time.
Over the past couple of years, I have become an avid movie buff and try to take advantage of opportunities in Toronto to attend film festivals or see movies projected on film prints.
