RE: [dita-s1000d-discuss] Welcome to the DITA-S1000D Interoperability Discussion List!

["Yas Etessam" <yas.etessam@xmetal.com>]

Thanks Scott for leading this initiative,

My expertise is in DITA and implementing authoring systems to support
DITA's architecture as well as specializations.   
I am an consultant for XMetaL (JustSystems) and am a member of the DITA
OASIS TC. 

I've dabbled in S1000D authoring implementations but have done some
research around determining whether a DITA specialization could be
grafted on top of other non-DITA data models.  

Hopefully, that experience will be useful in this discussion about
determining the possibility of expressing formal relationships (or
mappings) between S1000D and DITA.

Regards,

Yas Etessam
