This group is for discussion and mutual support of people in the United Kingdom who use the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA). It is intended to give a more UK-focused venue than the http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/ group.

The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is an XML-based, end-to-end architecture for authoring, producing, and delivering technical information. This architecture consists of a set of design principles for creating "information-typed" modules at a topic level and for using that content in delivery modes such as online help, books, and Web sites.

DITA is defined by the OASIS DITA Technical Committee (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/dita/), and implemented by an Open Source toolkit at SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dita-ot/). DITA resources and publications are summarized at the XML Cover Pages (http://xml.coverpages.org/dita.html). DITA community resources may be found at the OASIS DITA Focus Area (http://dita.xml.org) and at the DITA Wiki site (http://ditawiki.org).
