OASIS members are asked to review and comment on a draft charter to establish the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) Adoption Committee. The group intends to raise awareness of the benefits offered by DITA, increase the demand for, and availability of, DITA-conforming products and services, and expand the DITA community of users, suppliers, and consultants. Proposers include representatives of OASIS Foundational Sponsor, IBM, and Sponsor members, Comtech Services, Oracle, and others. JoAnn Hackos, Ph.D., of Comtech serves as the convenor. The comment period closes 17 Jun.
DITA XML.org is the official community gathering place and information resource for the DITA OASIS Standard, an XML architecture for designing, writing, managing, and publishing information. We encourage you to contribute content to this site.

Partslist

We are trying to transform the current XML of our manuals to the DITA structure.
In our documentation we use a so called 'spare parts list', in which each part that can be used in a machine, has a number and a description.
Our manauls for several machines contain some of the parts which are declared in the above mentioned parts list.
In our current XML of the manual, we refer to the parts, declared in the 'spare parts list'.
How can we implement this in a DITA structure?

What are plugins? Plugins are extensions to the Dita-OT code that add or modify functionality. Although plugins are often used to add specializations to the Dita-OT, they can also be used to simply override processing logic for standard elements. This allows users to customize the logic of the system without actually changing the code in the Dita-OT installation. In many cases, plugins can be carried over to an upgraded version of the OT and still run properly.
Contributed open-source plugins.
