Subject: RE: [dita] Sound bite for the OASIS press release
In fact I would say that interoperability is far more germane to the topic of specialization being emphasized here. If reuse is also important to highlight in this blurb, I think there needs to be some verbiage that calls attention to the topic-based architecture and the conref/keyref capabilities. This is perhaps less "unique" to DITA and I don't know the overall gist of the PR, so I don't know if you want that or not. mag From: dita@lists.oasis-open.org [mailto:dita@lists.oasis-open.org] On Behalf Of Eliot Kimber I would add "and interoperation" to "the ensuing reuse possibilities": "the ensuing reuse and interoperation possibilities" Interoperation, with or without reuse, is an important and distinguishing feature of the DITA architecture. Cheers, E. From: dita <dita@lists.oasis-open.org> on behalf of Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com> How about the following: “DITA is more than flexible, it’s specializable,” said Kristen Eberlein, chair of the OASIS DITA Technical Committee. “The standard is unique; it enables practitioners to specialize from existing elements in order to increase the semantic granularity. For example, consider a very simple document. A section element can be specialized to represent more specific types of sections such as “Introduction,” “Main point,” and “Conclusion”; this enables more precise semantic searching and better guidance for authors.” “Done correctly”, Eberlein continued, “Output processors always will understand the specialization hierarchy – a section is always a section, after all – and be able to apply general processing transformations. This is unique to DITA, and the ensuing reuse possibilities allow great cost sharing and cost reductions.” Best, On 1/14/2016 1:15 PM, Kristen James Eberlein wrote:
