Subject: Re: [dita-learningspec] why both a domain specialization and aspecialization of a map (or topic)?
Thanks, John. This makes sense. You've convinced me about domain. To answer your question .... john_hunt@us.ibm.com wrote: > > > Are there other examples of major structures of learning content that > we need to represent in a map that are not covered by map, bookmap, or > a learningObject domain? Based on what we are doing at Sun, I think these maps cover what we want to do. For us the general map nests learningObject maps for both our web and print deliverables. Also, I think being able to ref learningObject maps in parent learningObject maps will be very powerful and serve most needs. I'll not post the the question we discussed last Monday, because I think you have come upon the sensible approach here.
