Clear English-language summary of the specification:
The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) 1.3 specification defines
both
a) a set of document types for authoring and organizing topic-oriented
information; and b) a set of mechanisms for combining, extending, and
constraining document types.

This release of DITA comes in three parts called Editions, optimized for
different audiences:

- The Base Edition is designed for application developers and users who need
only the most fundamental pieces of the DITA framework.

- The Technical Content Edition includes specializations usually used by
technical communicators.

- The All Inclusive Edition is the largest edition. It is designed for
implementers who want all OASIS-approved specializations, as well as users
who
develop learning and training materials.
