Technical Information Collection and Provision Working Group
- Activity Aims
Although the word “DITA” itself is becoming known in Japan, its actual specifications are not so well known or precisely understood.
One reason is that “DITA” is perceived to be complicated, and available information in Japanese has been relatively scarce up to now.
The purpose of this Working Group is to translate into Japanese information from outside of Japan, such as OASIS documentation, and publish it.
A glossary to unify terms for translation into Japanese is also scheduled to be created.
- Expected Outcomes
– A glossary (DITA A to Z)
– A Japanese version of the DITA 1.2 Architectural Specification
- Planned Activities in this Fiscal Year
