Wikipedia entry for Darwin Information Typing Architecture

The DITA approach

DITA achieves separation of the content, the structure of a publication and the style or branding of the publication. A resource such as this website can be combined with other resources and then assembled into a structured publication, such as a website, PDF document or e-book.

Content Structure Publications
Topics Maps Websites, Documents, e-books

What is available on this site

On this site, DITA topics are available for each concept as either concept or glossary topics. In addition, DITA concept topics and DITA maps are available for each model package (the entries in the Topics menu)

How do I access DITA content?

Individual topics are available direct from the website at https://81001.org/concept/conceptname/DITA Additional content is available by contacting us directly, including the SVG images for inclusion in DITA products.
