OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) TC

DITA defines an XML architecture for designing, writing, managing, and publishing many kinds of information in print and on the Web. DITA is widely used for books, technical manuals, help files, training, and multimedia authoring because of its modular, topic-based approach and its ability to support content reuse. Not my wording -- but I think we should suggest removing the verb managing ... Also, do we want to suggest other things that DITA is widely used for?

I think managing fits in well enough. There are a bunch of content management tools specifically designed to support DITA.   Is "print and Web" a little dated (not mentioning mobile devices)?   mag     From: dita@lists.oasis-open.org [mailto:dita@lists.oasis-open.org] On Behalf Of Kristen James Eberlein Sent: Friday, January 15, 2016 12:11 PM To: DITA TC Subject: [dita] Another clip from the draft press release   " DITA defines an XML architecture for designing, writing, managing, and publishing many kinds of information in print and on the Web.

Depends on what you mean by managing --certainly the indirect addressing features and the architectural principle of no magic mean that DITA Is inherently manageable without special tooling. On other hand most readers probably won't understand managing in that way. I would like to see Publishing reflected in the list but I'm not sure how characterize it in the context of the list given, maybe professionally published books and magazines, ?
