DITAworks development team is now actively working on release of first version of DITA Visual Specialization Manager (DVSM) that allows management of DITA Specializations in visual and easy way (for more details see: http://www.ditaworks.com/modeling/).

DITA Visual Specialization Manager is planned to be released this week, but now you have a possibility to get a first preview of available functionality by watching some fresh screen casts published on DITAworks website. These demos cover following functions of DVSM:

We are looking forward for your feedbacks on features presented there.

I remind that DITA Visual Specialization Manager will be available free-of-cost for non-commercial usage and for architects developing DITA models that are publically accessible.
