Course Description
The Darwin Information Typing
Architecture (DITA) is an end-to-end, XML-based architecture for authoring,
managing, and publishing your organization's technical content. DITA was
designed to meet the evolving needs of organizations in the face of today's
business requirements — for managing and publishing content for multiple
products, multiple audiences, and multiple output formats... Larger
organizations increasingly prefer DITA to proprietary document storage formats,
as DITA offers significant efficiency and usability advantages. But DITA is not
limited to large organizations; it makes good sense for projects of any size to
be moved to the DITA architecture. This course provides an overview of DITA,
its capabilities, and its possibilities for transforming your technical
publishing processes.
