The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is
an XML-based, end-to-end architecture for authoring, producing, and delivering technical information. This architecture consists of a set of design principles for creating "information-typed" modules at a topic level and for using that content in delivery modes such as online help and product support portals on the Web.
The starting point is the IBM developerWorks article,
Introduction to the Darwin Information Typing Architecture: Toward portable technical information. That article has all the necessary links, including a download of the latest version (dita 1.2 - also
here).
I have uploaded the contents of the /doc directory of that to this topic; start at
DITA Readme (note: some links may therefore be broken).
Please use the
forum topic about this for comments.
