OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) TC

I have started working with George Bina on implementing the details of this proposal, including code to generate working DTDs and XSDs that conform to the DITA coding requirements from the RNG versions. Would also like to have DTD-to-RNG code that generates the modules correctly, but that is definitely a nice-to-have at this point. I have added my early and incomplete attempt at DTD generation to my personal DITA 1.3 spec work area on github: https://github.com/drmacro/dita-13-spec/tree/master/src/xslt/rng2ditadtd If anyone would like to help with this effort, please speak up. Once we have the ability to generate DTDs from RNGs that conform to the DITA requirements, then we can start doing real work in RNG while finishing out the XSD generation and looking at DTD-to-RNG processing (which will require using something like the NekoDTD parser mentioned in the context of the contains and contained-by table generation. Note that once we have RNG versions of all the 1.3 modules, we could use XSLT to generate the contains and contained-by information working against the RNG source (which is XML and much easier to process than XSD).

In order to better collaborate with George Bina from SynchroSoft, I've moved the RNG-to-DTD XSLT code to the DITA-NG project on Google code, which is where George is maintaining his work on the DITA RelaxNG stuff. That site is here: http://code.google.com/p/dita-ng/ Cheers, E.
