Introduction to DITA
The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is an XML-based architecture for authoring, producing, and delivering
topic-oriented, information-typed content that can be reused and single-sourced in a variety of ways. While DITA historically
has been driven by the requirements of large-scale technical documentation authoring, management, and delivery,
it is a standard that is applicable to any kind of publication or information that might be presented to readers,
including interactive training and educational materials, standards, reports, business documents, trade books, travel
and nature guides, and more.
