Lightweight DITA: An Introduction published by DITA TC

OASIS Members and other interested parties,

OASIS is pleased to announce the publication of "Lightweight DITA: An Introduction," a Committee Note from the members of the OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) TC [1].

Lightweight DITA (LwDITA) is a simplified version of the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA). In comparison to DITA 1.3, it has a smaller element type and attribute set, stricter content models, and a reduced feature set. It also defines mappings between XML, HTML5, and Markdown so that authors can collaborate and publish across different markup languages.

LwDITA is a work in progress. The Committee Note outlines the current plans in order to gain design clarity and receive feedback from potential users. Details may well change between the publication of this CN and release of Lightweight DITA as an OASIS specification.
