Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA)

téma — an atomic information unit defined by name and content; atomic in terms of meaning and origin — a smaller one would not bear a meaning

mapa — document organizing topics into bigger units defining relations among topics

specializace — technique to define new structural types or new information domains) by maximal reusing of existing desing and code, saving as much costs related to introduction of new types (data exchange, migration, maintenance)

integrace — every domain and structural specialization has its own module. Modules can be combined in the so-called integration process.

přizpůsobení — eg. if you require that a change in output can be done without impairing the portability and data exchange, without specialization

generalizace — offers the opportunity to understand the specialized content as the content of the parent (general) type even with the possibility the proposal back to the specialized content (round-tripping).

recent version of the fundamental DITA processing software, enabling production of PDF, ODT, (X)HTML, RTF, JavaHelp and many other output formats. The DITA Open Toolkit is freely available, you can install it and try to publish the following free DITA samples to produce eg. HTML5 output:
