Documentation for users: Audience, content, and language

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6384464

When a technology such as solar energy enters the everyday world, the documentation about it must also become part of the technology transfer. The challenge in creating publications about technical subjects for semi-technical people or for popular use is to be both accurate and interesting. The process of creating this documentation should begin by carefully defining the audience and aiming the publication at it. To a large extent, the audience determines both the content and the language that will be used. 2 refs.
