Abstract
The single-sourcing of content is extremely beneficial because when we are managing several projects with hundreds or thousands of documentation, we don't want to be changing the same content, or substantially similar content in multiple locations. The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is an XML-based architecture for authoring, producing, and delivering technical documents. It consists of a set of design principles for creating Information -typed topic modules and for using that content in various ways. In this paper, we examine the approach of using The Darwin Information Typing Architecture for technical documents development to enhance the reuse of existing content components for difference information products.
