DITA Promotion and Marketing Working Group
- Activity Aims
To promote DITA, it is important to offer propositions not only from a technical aspect, but also from the aspects of business processes and organization. There has been no use case worldwide in which DITA was adopted by insisting only on its technological aspects. It is essential to also show the changes that DITA will bring.
This Working Group collects information that is used as the basis for promoting DITA inside and outside of Japan. The information that is published is useful and includes publishing for translation as well as outside information.
This Working Group also investigates actual conditions in which DITA is used from analytical methods such as questionnaires and hearings. These results are analyzed objectively so that any trends in DITA adoption can be recognized, which is useful information that can be used when offering propositions for DITA promotion and implementation.
