Because they are listed in the reference tables, I was expecting to see topics for them in the spec. It is intentional that they not be included and it isn’t appropriate, then please disregard my question.
Have a great day, A

Hmmm ... We ship the grammar files for these maps and document them in B.9.7 (which is of course non-normative):
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/os/part3-all-inclusive/non-normative/learningtrainingdoctypes.html#ltdoctypes
They are obviously parallel to classification map.
Amber, were you expecting language reference topics for these maps?
Best,
Kris

Hi Amber -
I don't think that these map types are intended to be defined in the spec. They were not in the DITA 1.2 spec, either. We define the learning map domain elements, and say that "Defined as a map domain, these elements are available for use within any DITA map, not just a learning-specific DITA map. For example, you could include learning objects in a DITA generic map or in a DITA bookmap. "
The DITA OT does include dtd definitions for learning map and learning bookmap, which provide samples of including the map domain in map and bookmap. Similarly, you could include the classification domain.
I do agree we could provide more information about all of this. In the spec, perhaps adding to the section on the Learning and training architecture, and include examples of how you'd use the learning map domain with map and bookmap.

Subject: learning maps in the DITA 1.3 spec
Hi there,
It appears that the learning bookmap and learning map are missing from the DITA 1.3 spec. It only lists the learning object map and learning group map. I believe that it should include the learning map and learning bookmap. Am I correct? If so, how do we fix this in the errata release for the fall?
Thanks, A
