About DITA
DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) is an XML-based, end-to-end architecture for creating, producing, and delivering topic-oriented, information-typed content that can be reused and single-sourced in multiple ways. The architecture consists of a set of design principles for creating “information-typed” modules at a topic level and for using that content in delivery modes such as online help and product support portals on the Web. The development and promotion of DITA is led by OASIS. |
