RE: [docbook] Evaluating DocBook and DITA

["Dick Hamilton" <rlhamilton@frii.com>]

Eric,

I included a section on selecting an XML Schema in
my book, Managing Writers. While I would, of course,
encourage you to purchase the book:), that section
was published as a sample.  Here is the URL:

http://xmlpress.net/publications/managing-writers/sample-chapter-2/

The same section was also published as an article at:
http://www.thecontentwrangler.com/article/choosing_an_xml_schema_docbook
_or_dita/
While that site (The Content Wrangler) is more focused on
content management than schemas, you can find information
about DITA and DocBook there as well.

Hope that helps.
