DITA OpenToolkit

January 7, 2006 Blog No Comments

If you’re one of the thousands of technical content creators, documentation managers, vendors, teachers, and consultants interested in learning more about the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA), you should definitely bookmark and return often to visit the DITA OpenToolkit website.

The DITA Open Toolkit is an implementation of the OASIS DITA Technical Committee’s specification for DITA DTDs and Schemas. The Toolkit transforms DITA content (maps and topics) into deliverable formats.

According to the organizers, “The long term goal of the DITA Open Toolkit is to provide a high quality implementation for production level output of DITA XML content, built in a professionally-managed project environment by vetted contributors, and tested thoroughly.”

The DITA Open Toolkit provides a wide variety of benefits to different types of users:

  • Enterprise users (tools to integrate into end-to-end production pipelines)
  • Individuals or small business owners (ease of use for very small scale processing applications; interoperable interchange with enterprise consumers)
  • Consultants (anticipate scenarios for wide range of users; tools to enable consultants to deploy DITA successfully)
  • Vendors (tested OASIS DTDs and stylesheets for editors, transforms for build tools)
  • Academic and educational users (demos of key DITA behaviors and best practices).

The DITA Open Toolkit website includes:

  • Downloadable copy of the DITA Open Toolkit
  • Help forums and mailing lists
  • Bug trackers, support requests, patches and feature requests
  • Access to the Concurrent Versions System (version control for source code)
