About This Document

This initial version of the model is currently limited to the Content Types section that lists the content types this model includes as well as the DITA Reference section that outlines a selection of DITA elements included in this model. The upcoming versions of this model will include additional sections.

The intended, high-level outline of the final version includes:

• Content Types - Concept, general task, reference, and more

• DITA Elements - Elements like conbody, section, note, related-links, and more

• DITA Attributes - Attributes like outputclass, deliveryTarget, id, and more

• DITA Maps - Included maps are map, bookmap, sitemap

• DITAVALs - Conditional processing specifications

• DITA Reference - Complete list of all DITA elements included in the Simplified IM (already available)

Intended Audience

This model is the only and default model available for Business subscriptions. Enterprise subscriptions can choose between the full DITA 1.3 specification and this model.

Business Subscription

Uses the Simplified Information Model by default. Complete DITA 1.3 specification is not available. As a result, only DITA elements and attributes included in the model are available in the CCMS. This ensures seamless compatibility with all default outputs, including Heretto standard PDF Generator scenarios and basic Heretto Portal configurations - no additional customization required.

Note:

The full DITA 1.3 configuration is not available for the Business subscription. If you've been using any elements that aren't listed in this model, contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM).

Enterprise Subscription

The Simplified Information Model is recommended and available. Customers can choose between the simplified information model and using the complete DITA 1.3 specification. Using the complete DITA 1.3 specification may require output customization.

Important Considerations

• The Simplified Information Model excludes some DITA element groups like learning and training specialization elements, subject scheme elements, or indexing group elements. For details, see DITA Element Groups.

• Content types, map types, as well as elements and attributes excluded from the Simplified Information Model aren't available in the Heretto CCMS interface for any user type.

• The Simplified Information Model doesn't permit nested topics (topics within topics).

• The Simplified Information Model uses the general task topic for its flexible structure rather than strict task topic.
