Hi Jeff,
The DITA Learning Specialization includes
a learning interactions domain specialization, and one of the interactions
is lcHotspot. This is intended for use in a learning assessment, where
the lcHotspot interactions presents a question, and the learner clicks
on defined areas in the hotspot graphic to indicate a response.
lcHotspot is very similar to imagemap,
but adds an lcQuestion, and a specialized lcArea, which includes lcCorrectResponse
and lcFeedback to support an assessment interaction.
Have a look at the doc in the most recent
learning plugin - http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/27471/mar08_learningsc_plugin.zip.

Subject:
| [dita] graphical hotspots in DITA
documents |
Is anyone on the DITA TC aware of any discussion
about how to use existing DTIA markup or how to create a domain specialization
to handle graphical hotspots?
Graphical hotspots come up most often in
relationship to CGM graphics where there are named graphics objects and
you want to be able to link “from a hotspot” (graphic to text) or link
“to a hotspot” (text to graphic). The linking should be done in the context
of the document that includes the graphic rather than from or to the graphic
itself.
In some ways “from hotspotting” is similar
to an imagemap where the coordinates in the imagemap are replaced by the
hotspot name. I am wondering about using a <shape> of “name” and
placing the name itself as content of the coords element.
I can’t think of any existing DITA markup
that is similar to the “to hotspotting” where you want to link to a document
to activate a named hotspot in the graphic, but I could imagine adapting
a element structure similar to imagemap to do this even if the image map
would be being used in the opposite direction from its traditional use.
You don’t need to dig into this any further
unless you want to since all I am after is a pointer to any documents,
a person, or a group that might have ideas about this in the context
of DITA, but there is a discussion of Hotspots in the context of
XML, but not in the context of DITA, in the S1000D document Chapter 3.9.5.2.1.8:
