Incremental build scratch pad
2006-4-29 erikh
Maybe pointing out the obvious, incremental builds of plain-old Java can be managed by comparing the timestamp on the source and compiled file only because the runtime JVM handles the integration.
Unless we have a viewer that can provide equivalent integration at runtime, DITA XML modules have to integrate at build time. That integration has to resolve:
- Dependencies created by xrefs, conrefs, and links within the topic
Taxonomies and subject classification
Add content
A natural complement to topic orientation, in which topics are made independent of one another, are various organizing methods for topics.
The DITA map offers authors several ways to organize topics, but users who encounter a DITA map may not wish to access their topics the way the author of the DITA map expected.
Training specialization
The DITA Learning and Training Content Specialization Subcommittee (at http://www.oasis-open.org) has been formed under the auspices of the OASIS DITA Technical Committee (link is within http://dita.xml.org). The sub-committee is working on methods of representing training in DITA.

Statement of problem or objective:
The index sort today does not work based on language - it appears that all terms are sorted based on English. The sort should work for the appropriate language.
Is this architecture, function, fix, or other?
function/fix
Goals of this proposal:
Fix topicmerge
Note: The topicmerge function was updated in DITA-OT 1.3.1, so this item is no longer being developed. Up to date information on the toolkit can be found here: The DITA Open Toolkit
