Subject: Fw: Submission of OASIS DITA 1.1 CS for approval
Hi, all. This submission note got to Mary McRae on time week before last,
but did not make it into these email archives due to coming from a
non-member email account. The submission is okay. I just wanted to get the
text into the record here, as the links represent the lastest referenced
material for the approval. Upon approval, dates may be changed, nothing
more.
Regards,

The OASIS DITA Technical Committee hereby submits the DITA
1.1 Committee Specification for consideration as an OASIS
Standard.
(a) Links to the approved Committee Specification in the
TC's document repository, and any appropriate
supplemental documentation for the specification:

Language specification:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/24319/ditaref-type.pdf
(b) The editable version of all files that are part of the

Language specification:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/24317/langspec.zip
DTDs:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.1/CD02/dtd/ditadtd.zip
Schemas:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.1/CD02/schema/ditaschema.zip
(c) Certification by the TC that all schema and XML
instances included in the specification, whether by
inclusion or reference, including fragments of such, are
well formed, and that all expressions are valid:
The TC hereby certifies that all schema and XML instances
are valid.
(d) A clear English-language summary of the specification:
The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA)
specification defines
both a) a set of document types for authoring and organizing
topic-oriented
information; and b) a set of mechanisms for combining and
extending
document types using a process called specialization.
The DITA 1.1 specification is designed to be
backwards-compatible with 1.0-conforming applications. The
following major changes to the architecture provide added
functionality for 1.1:
* A <bookmap> specialization for encoding book-specific
information in a DITA map
* A <glossentry> specialization for glossary entries
* Indexing specializations for see, see-also, page
ranges, and sort order
* Improvements to graphic scaling capability
* Improved short description flexibility through a new
<abstract> element
* Specialization support for new global attributes, such
as conditional processing attributes
* Support for integration of existing content structures
through the <foreign> element
* Support for new kinds of information and structures
through the <data> and <unknown> elements
* Formalization of conditional processing profiles
(e) A statement regarding the relationship of this
specification to similar work of other OASIS TCs or other
standards developing organizations;
The work of the OASIS DocBook TC and the OASIS Open Document
Format TC are related in the documentation realm to DITA,
however the goals and design of DITA provide different
capabilities for potentially wider user communities. To our
knowledge, this specification has no relationship to any
other work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing
organizations.
