DITA keeps on growing

Document Actions

Still think DITA is just for technical writing? The standard might be expanding to include enterprise business documents.

It looks like DITA will continue to evolve... this time, to include an open standard specialization to handle enterprise business documents.

I read at The Content Wrangler that a new OASIS committee is being formed to explore this use of DITA. Apparently, they're looking for committee members, so if you'd like to get involved, check out the article for more information.

As a technical writer, this could be pretty cool. Imagine if all business documents were written with DITA specializations. Perhaps I could pull planning and design topics into technical documentation. People throughout the organization could pull topics from manuals into their documents.

DITA and Remedy?

Posted by Tom Johnson at 2008-04-04 13:37

Can you tell me the best way to integrate a knowledge base from Remedy with help files produced by DITA? I'm trying to integrate our existing help materials (which I'm currently producing in Flare) directly into the Remedy knowledge base. Are you guys doing that? How?
