Use. Reuse. Specialize. Collaborate.
Modular content for an integrated world.

The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) builds content reuse into the authoring process. DITA defines an XML architecture for designing, writing, managing, and publishing many kinds of information in print and on the Web.

The standard is advanced through an open process by the OASIS DITA Technical Committee, a group that encourages new participation from developers and users.

DITA v1.1 was approved as an OASIS Standard in August 2007.
