Hi,
As I create my DITA/NA presentation, which will be on the
future of the techcomm package (with a nod to its history),
I'm realizing I have some questions that I can't answer. I'm
thinking that either one of you knows the answers, or if you
don't, we need to put the question on the agenda for the
next TC meeting, so we can make a decision on it.Â
Note: I may be asking questions that can be answered by
looking at the latest 2.0 grammar files,, so if that's the
case, and you can point me to them on either the OASIS
website or in Github, that would be great.
1. In making techcomm a profile - and I would love to be
pointed to the location on the OASIS website where they
define their idea of a profile - will that mean that there
is no overlap at all between techcomm and base DITA, or will
there still be some items in techcomm that reproduce items
in base DITA, as there are now? (I'm thinking about the fact
that there's an extra topic.mod in the techcomm 'dtd'
folder, not the majority of the base, which I know won't be
included). My understanding of a profile is that it isn't a
stand-alone functional structure; it absolutely depends on
having base DITA available. Is that correct?ÂÂ
2. The 1.3Â techcomm content is in its own directory, but
that directory doesn't include the xnal, bookmap, or
machineryIndustry material, which each have their own
directories as well. But those 3 pieces are included in
techcomm from the point of view of the 1.3 spec. Will those
things be part of 2.0 techcomm? will they be removed from
the 2.0 base?ÂÂ
Thanks,
Nancy
