              Description

              The OASIS DITA Technical Committee (TC) defines and
              maintains the Darwin Information Typing Architecture
              (DITA) and promotes its use for creating standard
              information types and domain-specific markup vocabularies.

              

              

              

              The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) v1.3
              specification defines both a) a set of document types for
              authoring and organizing topic-oriented information; and
              b) a set of mechanisms for combining, extending, and
              constraining document types.
