eComPress - a powerful alternative to PDF for distributing tech reference docs
The online Help DITA Infocenter was built because the PDF and HTML versions of the DITA Language and Architectural Specifications were just too awkward to use for constant reference.

The DITA Infocenter got good reviews. Many users said that the great indexing and search in the Eclipse Help interface really makes it easy to find your way around the hundreds of DITA Specification pages.

IBM Information Architecture Workbench Handout
Information Architecture Workbench (IAWB), formerly known as Task Modeler, is a free, Eclipse-based tool for graphically designing, building, and editing DITA maps and relationship tables. IAWB enables you to visualize various properties of the map, such as linking between files. In the handout you find how to download, install and setup of the IBM Information Architecture. Furthermore you learn how to design a small, DITA-based information set, creating a map, creating relationships and generating stub files.
