Subject: DITA for the Web
Related to all this, I've contacted a number of people in the DITA community over the past several months and received generally quite favorable inputs and interest. Now looks like a ripe time to launch a formal "DITA for the Web" activity at OASIS.
To that end, I drafted the a set of goals and deliverables for a prospective "DITA for the Web subcommittee," for consideration and discussion by the DITA Technical Committee.
I look forward to the thoughts of the TC on this topic and discussing through the TC email list and upcoming meetings.
Thanks much.
John

==================================================================
Draft Charter: OASIS DITA Technical Committee "DITA for the Web subcommittee"
Goals:
1. Provide an open forum for discussion about the use of DITA content
on the Web and how DITA relates to other web technologies.
2. Recommend strategy and guidelines to the OASIS DITA Technical
Committee that promote best practices for applying DITA approaches to Web
content, including:
a. use of DITA structures, semantics, and architectures
in web content and wikis, either as native DITA or as XHTML
b. use of DITA best practices to drive metadata, linking,
navigation, and management of web content
c. use of DITA semantics to drive an XHTML microformat representation
of DITA content on the web
d. use of application programming interfaces (APIs) to drive
the publication and integration of DITA content on the web with content
management systems through RESTful services
Deliverables:
1. Recommendations to the DITA TC for specification changes or additions
to better support DITA content on the Web.
2. A specification (or a recommendation to another relevant standards
body) for a standard representation of DITA semantics on web pages with
XHTML microformats.
3. A specification (or a recommendation to another relevant standards
body) for application programming interfaces (APIs) for use of DITA content
on the Web.
4. Recommendations to the DITA TC for coordination with other related
standards, such as the OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services
(CMIS) TC or Microformats.org.
5. A white paper summary of recommendations and best practices guidelines
for use of DITA content on the Web.
