Taxonomy specialization plug-in
Add content
A plug-in for the DITA toolkit that enables a taxonomy specialization is available for download at sourceforge.net. Although the plug-in is somewhat experimental, it is being used, and merits mention here.
The URL to access the plug-in is:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=132728
Here are some simple notes on how to retrieve and install the plug-in.

Add content
A natural complement to topic orientation, in which topics are made independent of one another, are various organizing methods for topics.
The DITA map offers authors several ways to organize topics, but users who encounter a DITA map may not wish to access their topics the way the author of the DITA map expected.
Specializations
DITA Specialization is the means by which the standard DITA language may be extended for new semantic or structural roles.
