DITA contains ready-to-go metadata structures, but what are best practices for using those solutions in a meaningful way for your writing teams? Learn what team members should know and who to identify to take on the tasks related to taxonomy definitions. Also decide how to identify those taxonomy definitions in your content management system (CMS).
Additional resources:
- Taxonomy specialization: This specialization is called the Plugin: Thesaurus package. You can download it from the DITA Open Toolkit site on SourceForge.
- The IBM Systems Information Center uses the taxonomy specialization. Click Browse by Subjects to experiment with faceted browsing.
