DITA Concepts

DITA is a difficult thing to explain. It is difficult because we expect it to be a product or a technology, when it is actually a standard and a methodology. DITA provides an approach to technical communication that embraces best practice concepts such as modularity, single-sourcing, minimalism, and content re-use. The reasons for moving to DITA are business-focussed, not technology-focussed. This self-paced video workshop explains the principles underlying DITA, from XML to semantic markup to component content management systems. This is your chance to learn what DITA is, how it may be relevant to your circumstances, and how it might influence your writing practices.
