New DITA 1.2 feature article published by the DITA Adoption TC:"Improved glossary and terminology handling"

[Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

The OASIS DITA Adoption Committee has issued another feature article about the upcoming DITA 1.2 release, authored by Tony Self, HyperWrite PTY Ltd.

This feature article focuses on "Improved glossary and terminology handling"; here is the abstract:

"DITA 1.2 introduces significant improvements to the way in which terminology is handled. A new glossary entry element provides a flexible semantic structure to store terminology information, and the new indirect linking functionality allows terms occurring in the content to be linked through a key reference or transcluded using a new abbreviated-form element. Keys used for key referencing are defined in a new glossref specialisation of topicref in the map."

The feature article's page on dita.xml.org contains a link from which you can download the PDF:
