The Case for the Darwin Information Typing Architecture

In Topic-Oriented Information Development and Its Role in Globalization, Bill Trippe (The Gilbane Report) examines software developer Information Builders and their experience implementing the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) to manage a large set of localized product documentation.

“IBI made a strategic decision to adopt DITA, has implemented it, and is already realizing benefits from the decision,” Trippe writes.

Trippe documents some of the benefits IBI enjoys since implementing DITA including:

  • Elimination of formatting and reformatting tasks
  • Manipulation of content in ways previously unavailable
  • Modular, reusable, topic-oriented content
  • Significantly reduced translation turnaround
