Description
This document describes a proposal by the DITA for Enterprise Business Documents Subcommittee to define abstract versions of the DITA base topic types intermediary between <topic> and the DITA 1.2 <concept>, <task>, and <reference> topic types. These abstract information types would provide more inclusive models than the existing DITA 1.2 topic types. The new information types would be semantically ancestral to the broadest range possible of less abstract business topic types used in specific disciplines. Examples of these disciplines include technical documentation, research and development documentation, and policies and procedures.
