Thanks, Dawn TC Name: Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) Technical Committee (TC) Statement of Purpose: DITA is an XML-based standard for modular and extensible topic-based information. It enables content creators to separate content into semantically rich, reusable components that reflect the core purpose of the content they contain. DITA provides a model for defining and processing new components as specializations of ones, thus enabling interoperability of DITA-based content. The purpose of the DITA TC is to: ? Define and maintain the DITA standard ? Promote the use of the DITA standard Deliverables: The DITA TC produces the following deliverables and more: ? DITA specification and associated grammar files ? Committee notes that contain non-normative content (tutorials, best practices, migration information, etc.) ? Webinar and conference presentations In addition, the DITA TC sponsors several Open OASIS GitHub repositories through which non-OASIS members can participate in DITA-related work. The DITA TC does not produce a reference implementation or rate compliance of DITA products. Audience: The following are the primary audiences for the work of the DITA TC: ? Developers of DITA-supporting applications ? Content engineers and XML specialists ? Information architects and information developers IPR Mode: RF on Limited Terms Mode of the OASIS IPR Policy Language: English
