ABSTRACT

Suppose you are communications director for a midsized corporation and have

just heard of a thing called Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA),

apparently used for managing corporate information, and you want to know

whether it applies to your company. What you want to do is a thorough

examination of the topic. You want as much depth as you can get. You could

begin by opening Google, and typing “DITA” into the dialog box. The search

engine will give you a page with links to more than 70 million resources. The

first relevant resources is a Wikipedia page that attempts to explain what DITA

is and what it does (2011). The article’s description begins with a paragraph

meant to provide an overview of the topic.
