Overview
The purpose of the OASIS DITA Technical Committee (TC) is to define and maintain the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) and to promote the use of the architecture for creating standard information types and domain-specific markup vocabularies.
DITA is specializable, which allows for the introduction of specific semantics for specific purposes without increasing the size of other DTDs, and which allows the inheritance of shared design and behavior and interchangeability with unspecialized content.
For more information, see the TC Charter and FAQ
Note: The DITA Adoption Technical Committee focuses on educational and outreach activities to increase the awareness and usefulness of DITA. The Adoption TC includes an Editorial Board that maintains the DITA XML.org Focus Area.

External Resources
Although not produced by the OASIS DITA TC, the following information offers useful insights into its work.
DITA XML.org is a community-driven site hosted by OASIS that provides reliable background information on the standard. The site also serves as a community bulletin board and directory where readers post news, ideas, opinions, and recommendations. It incorporates wiki functionality to let users edit and add new pages to the site. The public is encouraged to contribute content.

starting point in implementing DITA.
Additional Information
- DITA Adoption Technical Committee
Educating the global marketplace on the value of DITA for document creation and management
- DITA on Coverpages
The coverpages site is currently the most complete DITA information resource. It provides both basic and in-depth coverage.
- The DITA Open Toolkit
The
DITA Open Toolkit is an open source implementation of the OASIS DITA
Technical Committee's specification for Darwin Information Typing
Architecture (DITA) DTDs and Schemas. The Toolkit transforms DITA
content (maps and topics) into deliverable formats. It is intented for
developers as well as end users.
- XML doc forum
Xml-doc
is a mailing list where writers, developers, product and service
vendors, and others discuss the application of XML, SGML, and related
technologies to structured authoring, particularly authoring of
documentation for computer software and hardware.
- TECHWR-L forum
TECHWR-L (that’s "tech-whirl") is the Internet-based community and resource for technical communicators worldwide.
