DITAによる技術文書の作成と管理

DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) is a powerful XML-based standard for authoring, managing, and delivering technical information. It breaks content into reusable "topics" (think paragraphs, images, or code snippets). These building blocks are then assembled into larger structures like manuals or user guides using "maps". DITA topics can be easily reused across multiple documents, reducing redundancy and saving time. Update the relevant topic once, and it ripples across every document that uses it. Benefit from multi-format publishing to generate stunning PDFs, web-friendly HTML, and even print-ready layouts, all from a single DITA source. DITA can be customized to accommodate different industry standards and content types and is ideal for software documentation, user manuals, API references, online help and training materials.

A number of structured document tools offer DITA support including:

• Oxygen XML Editor Professional by Syncro Soft offers advanced DITA editing support, covering DITA 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 standards, and allows users with limited knowledge of XML to edit DITA documents in a visual interface (similar to a WYSIWYG word processor).
• Altova Authentic includes a graphical interface with a wide variety of features that make editing XML data easy for non-technical users, while maintaining the power and flexibility of structured content authoring. It seamlessly supports industry standard XML templates such as DITA and DocBook.
