Significant milestones in the development and adoption of DITA include:
August 2007
DITA 1.1 is approved as OASIS Standard
This status signifies the highest level of ratification within the international standards consortium.
March 2006
OASIS Launches DITA XML.org.
The site combines the free expression of a wiki with stable
background materials on the standard, as well as organized community
postings on topical issues.
Published in eContent magazine, this article describes what prompted AMD to move to a DITA strategy and implement IXIASOFT's DITA CMS Framework, an XML-based content management solution, to support their technical documentation process.
