Design patterns for information architecture with DITA map domains

Erik Hennum, Don Day, John Hunt and Dave A. Schell have written an article on design patterns for DITA. To quote:

The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) provides maps for assembling topics into deliverables. By specializing the map elements, you can define a formal information architecture for your deliverables. This architecture provides guidance to authors on how to organize topics and lets processes recognize your organizing principles, resulting in a consistent, clear experience for your users.
