An approved OASIS Standard for document creation and management, DITA builds content reuse into the authoring process. The OASIS DITA Help Subcommittee aims to make recommendations on the integration of DITA-authored Help systems and software applications using context-sensitivity. The group will also establish best practice guidelines. The subcommittee, chaired by Anthony Self, welcomes new participation. Those involved in tool development with expertise in Help systems are especially encouraged to contribute to this effort. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=dita-help ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Registration opens for free IDtrust workshop in Barcelona The OASIS IDtrust Member Section is hosting a free workshop in conjunction with the Burton Group's Catalyst conference in Barcelona, Spain on 22 Oct.
