DITA Module Suite

The DITA management suite empowers its users to organize Specialized Elements, Generalized Elements, Vocabulary, and Media elements to assemble dynamic DITA documents via Document Shells (or downloads, for the benefit of the user community. Each DITA document is made up of elements, which are intelligent; able to be rendered 'ON DEMAND' by the user, yielding a potentially unique file output (or download) for each user. The benefit is in managing one document (which contain intelligent elements) secure to only those users who request it (by role, by region or both).

This module suite is made up of three sub categories: Elements, Documents and Collections, and Types

Elements:

• Generalized Elements - A module which allows the author to create and manage reusable boilerplate content, and drag-n-drop into the Document Shell(s) or template
• Specialized Elements- A module which allows the author to create re-usable dynamic content elements, and drag-n-drop into the Document Shell(s) or template (live changes from within the Shell) as the element values change.
• Vocabulary- A module to manage any (roles based) terminology, and or associated help files or hyperlinks. These can be added to the Document Shell via drag-n-drop to manage the changes to terminology found within documents.
• Media Elements- A module to manage any (roles based) digital assets (or media). These can be added to the Document Shell via drag-n-drop to manage (live changes from within the Shell) as the media element values change.

Documents & Collections:

• Documents- A module to manage the storage of the elements into their respective (indvidual) document record(s)
• Colletions- A module in which to group the Documents into collections (like manuals and booklets)
• Document Shells- A module to manage the templates, output file types and download links
