Members of the OASIS DITA Technical Committee have published a draft Statement of Purpose for an OASIS DITA Adoption Committee. The OASIS DITA Adoption Committee members will collaborate to provide expertise and resources to educate the marketplace on the value of the DITA OASIS Standard. By raising awareness of the benefits offered by DITA, the Committee increases the demand for and availability of DITA conforming products and services, resulting in a greater choice of tools and platforms and expanding the DITA community of users, suppliers, and consultants.
