    A couple more questions:

     

    Altogether we’ll have five map doctype shells:

     

    1.       Base Map

    2.       Bookmap

    3.       Learning Map (base map plus the Learning and Training Domain)

    4.       Classification Map #1

    5.       Classification Map #2

     

    Is this correct?

     

    Is the only “generic” map doctype shell the Base Map?

     

    Do I remember that the Learning and Training subcommittee wanted a version of the bookmap doctype shell with the Learning and Training Domain added?

    All of the map doctype shells include the map-group domain, right?

     

    Just checking: There are no doctype shells specific to the Machine Industry, Software and Programming, or Classification, Controlled Values, and Taxonomies work or to the extent that there are they are included in the Technical Content collection, right?

     

    Just checking: Grouping the doctype shells into three collections (base, tech content, learning and training) doesn’t imply any changes to the organization of the DITA 1.2 specification documents or does it?

     

    The current organization of the DITA 1.2 specification documents is:

     

    • DITA 1.2 Specification Overview
    • DITA 1.2 Base Architectural Specification
    • DITA 1.2 Base Language Reference
    • DITA 1.2 Utility Domain Specializations Architecture and Language Reference
    • DITA 1.2 Technical Content Architecture and Language Reference
    • DITA 1.2 Software and Programming Content Architecture and Language Reference
    • DITA 1.2 Learning and Training Content Architecture and Language Reference
    • DITA 1.2 Machine Industry Content Architecture and Language Reference
    • DITA 1.2 Classification, Controlled Values, and Taxonomies Architecture and Language Reference

    Assumptions:
    - need to keep the legacy shells from 1.1 to avoid breaking existing users
    - beyond legacy shells, adding only the bare minimum to exercise each new domain and structural type
    - users will go to the web tool for most combinations (such as tech content with learning objectives, or tech content without the sw domain)

    Base (2 shells):
            topic and map plus utility domains
    Tech content (11 shells):
            topic, concept, task, general task, task with requirements domain, reference, glossary, ditabase (all incorp. hazard, utility, sw, pr, ui domains);
            bookmap, 2 classification maps
    Learning and training (7 shells):

            5 l&t topic types, topic with l&t domain, map with l&t domain
