All of the map doctype shells include the
map-group domain, right?

 

Just checking: There are no doctype shells
specific to the Machine Industry, Software and Programming, or Classification,
Controlled Values, and Taxonomies work or to the extent that there are they are
included in the Technical Content collection, right?

 

Just checking: Grouping the doctype shells
into three collections (base, tech content, learning and training) doesn’t
imply any changes to the organization of the DITA 1.2 specification documents or
does it?

 

The current organization of the DITA 1.2
specification documents is: 

 


 DITA 1.2
     Specification Overview
 DITA 1.2
     Base Architectural Specification
 DITA 1.2
     Base Language Reference
 DITA 1.2 Utility Domain Specializations
     Architecture and Language Reference
 DITA
     1.2 Technical Content Architecture and Language Reference
 DITA 1.2
     Software and Programming Content Architecture and Language Reference
 DITA 1.2 Learning and Training Content
     Architecture and Language Reference
 DITA 1.2 Machine Industry Content Architecture
     and Language Reference

Subject: [dita] proposed packaging
and doctype shells for DITA 1.2



 



Assumptions:

-
need to keep the legacy shells from 1.1 to avoid breaking existing users

-
beyond legacy shells, adding only the bare minimum to exercise each new domain
and structural type

-
users will go to the web tool for most combinations (such as tech content with
learning objectives, or tech content without the sw domain)


Base
(2 shells): 

 
      topic and map plus utility domains

Tech
content (11 shells): 

 
      topic, concept, task, general task, task with requirements
domain, reference, glossary, ditabase (all incorp. hazard, utility, sw, pr, ui
domains);

        bookmap, 2 classification maps 

Learning and training (7 shells): 

 
      5 l&t topic types, topic with l&t domain, map with
l&t domain
