DITA for Help
It has been a few months since the DITA Help sub-committee of the DITA TC was formed, with me as chair and Stan Doherty as secretary. Murphy's Law has seen to it that I have been flat out busy ever since, and I haven't had the chance to put some heavy work in yet. One of my roles is as a lecturer at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne. We are moving the Graduate Certificate in Technical Communication programme online next year (2008) through Open Universities Australia. I have been co-ordinating this project, and that has been all-consuming.
Adding subject tags about content
This site welcomes your contributions on new subjects. When the content is in a wiki page or a blog, you can add tags to identify its subject. (For more information, see Contribute content and Add or edit a Wiki page.)
Why tag contentThe tags that you apply appear in the footer of the abstract and of the complete topic. They permit readers to find other content that is on the same subject. Since a single topic may be about more than one subject, it often makes sense to apply multiple tags.

DITA: Getting Started Workshop

DITA at the XML 2007 Conference
The IdeaAlliance XML 2007 Conference theme was "XML in Practice". XML 2007 featured a Documents and Publishing Track, with important presentations on DITA, as a fine example of XML in practice.
The opening presentation, by Eric Severson of Flatiron Solutions, argued that DITA is taking the world by storm (PPT). Entitled "Practical Lessons for DITA Implementation," Severson had an excellent slide that compared DITA to DocBook, showing how topics are assembled by maps and DocBook is a monolithic document.
