DocbookDocument Sections Structuring & Publishing

•Hard to separate form from content•Difficult to componentize and categorise information•Long to develop bulky proprietary XML schemas and XSLT transforms•Difficult to share “standard” schemas across and between organisations•No standard architecture for object orientation, dynamic linking and mash ups on shared content

To date XML centric content publishing strategies have been:

•Expensive to implement•Difficult to maintain•Hard to adopt

DITA TOPIC

?

TypedStructured Linked

A DITA topic is a titled unit of information that can be understood in isolation and used in multiple contexts. It should be short enough to address a single subject or answer a single question but long enough to make sense on its own and be authored as a self-contained unit

DITA Map

A DITA map is a documents that organize topics and other resources into structured collections of information. DITA maps specify hierarchy and the relationships among the topics; they also provide the context in which keys are defined and resolved
