DITA Specializations

In general, DITA specializations help you develop content in a consistent way. For example, the technical specializations, which you use to create manuals, guides, or helps, introduce different topic types and different topic elements to ensure that your technical content is consistently developed.

Similarly to the technical specializations, the learning and training specializations include a specific set of topic types, map types, and elements that help you plan, develop, and maintain your instructional content in a consistent way.

Apart from ensuring content consistency, DITA specializations enable you to reuse, manage, and transform your content in an extensive and customizable way. The default DITA specializations can be configured to meet your organizational requirements. For example, DITA elements and attributes can be added, modified, or removed by modifying your Document Type Definitions (DTDs).
