Updated 25 Apr 2007 Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is a
system of Document Type Definitions (DTDs) and conventions for authoring
and delivering technical information. Learn more about this standard
that IBM produced to help organize its vast amount of data.
The numerous technical products IBM® has produced
over the years have led to huge amounts of technical information for the
company to organize and publish. In developing a system for using XML
for this information management, IBM developed the
Darwin Information Typing Architecture
(DITA)
[OASIS Standard]. DITA is "an XML-based, end-to-end architecture for authoring, producing, and delivering technical
information." It includes a DTD for organizing documents into reusable
modules called "topics" and for expressing content within topics. It
also provides a system for metadata annotations of topics so that users
can easily search, filter, and process them.
