Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is an XML-based architecture for authoring, producing, and delivering technical information. An OASIS standard, DITA has become increasingly popular with organizations looking for an XML schema designed to support structured documentation.
A unique feature of DITA is the ability to extend the schema for use in different domains through DITA specialization. Zarella Rendon’s book, DITA Specialization, scheduled for publication early in 2010, provides the first in-depth reference for mastering DITA specializations. It will describe a detailed approach to DITA specialization, with examples and tips from experts along with case studies from successful implementations. It will also include discussions on industry specializations provided by members of the DITA OASIS technical committee.
