Summary
Birgit Strackenbrock is an information engineer and freelance consultant with over a decade of experience structuring content and bridging editorial and technical teams for publishers and technical documentation. Under XStructuring since 2011 she specializes in XML, DITA, metadata standards (QTI, NL-LOM), DTD/XML-schema development and XML mappings that streamline creation and publication workflows. Her background as an editor, project manager and XML key user in German publishing gives her a rare combination of domain editorial insight and hands-on technical process design.

Trained as a Dipl.-Ing. in mechanical engineering, she brings analytical rigor and systems thinking to information architecture and content modelling. Colleagues value her ability to make technical XML practices accessible to non-technical teams while improving publication efficiency.
