More Traction for DITA
October 18, 2005
I have a brief article in the new Intelligent Enteprise magazine about DITA. One topic it takes on is the value of specialization:
So is DITA a panacea for companies producing product-support content? Adopting DITA does not eliminate the necessary first step of modeling content for XML, but it does anticipate the need for custom content models with a method called specialization. Consultants and experienced users admit that although “out-of-the-box” DITA is a great start, many organizations will end up specializing DITA for their own uses. Both Adobe and Autodesk rely on specialized versions of DITA, and other adopters will likely need to do the same.
