RE: Breaking 'Technical Content' specializations into two groups
I like this approach, primarily because it corrals the technology specializations. Is there a more descriptive term for the more general modules? âUtilityâ seems ambiguous. or perhaps thatâs the point.

Subject: [dita] Breaking 'Technical Content' specializations into two groups

 

*** External email: use caution ***

As I mentioned on the call today, Iâm suggesting that we break out the general-purpose modules currently labeled âTechnical Contentâ from the more industry-specific domains also included in that package. Hereâs
 how Iâd organize it:

 

General-purpose âutilityâ modules, not particularly bound to any industry, vertical, or classification:

Concept

Reference

Task/General Task/taskreq domain

Glossary-related domains

Bookmap (and/or the new DITA 2.0 bookmap)

Abbreviation domain

Release management domain

Troubleshooting domain

SVG Domain

 

More specific, technology-related specializations:

 

Equation domain

Markup and XML Mention domains

MathML domain

Programming domain

Software domain

UI Domain
