OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) TC (728 words) |
 | DITA lets you define a new type and reuse the processing of the base type (providing new processing only for different requirements of the new type). |
 | DITA information types can define a structure as simple or complex as the subject of the description. |
 | DITA has been submitted to the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) and accepted as a Technical Activity (see OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture TC). |
| ACM SIGDOC 2005: DITA Workshop (338 words) |
 | It is also an architecture for creating new information types and describing new information domains based on existing types and domains. |
 | DITA is gaining in popularity as a new standard at OASIS with open-source processing support as well as off-the-shelf support from a variety of content management and authoring tool vendors. |
