DITA in a nutshell

Information is no longer tied to specific software or platforms. With a standard like DITA XML, you can develop dynamic, cross-platform information that can be reused at will and published to different channels and in all possible output formats.

 

DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) is a ready-to-use information model that can be used to create a wide variety of documentation.

 

In this workshop you will learn more about what exactly DITA XML means and how to implement it, with practical examples for technical writers as well as information managers and their executives.
