Systematic Documentation Lifecycle Management

On 14th of December our development team finished working on release of first public version of DITA Visual Specialization Manager.

DITA Visual Specialization Manager contains comprehensive modeling functions. In productivity area, it provides benefits in terms of lesser time, optimal quality of deliverables, and single-sourcing of the model by its ability to export DTD and XML Schema. The main features of this application are listed as follows:

• Wizard-based Visual Editor for DITA specializations with support of structural, domain and attribute specializations
• Import of existing specializations from DTD
• DITA model validation (checking for validity of specialization)
• Export of managed specializations to DTD or XML Schema
• Export of Specializations in the form of DITA OT plug-in
• Integration with version control

All these benefits and functionalities have been developed to give substantial support to Information Architects and Documentation Project Managers in designing and maintaining their DITA specializations. (more…)
