Categorised under: Content management, Information architecture, XML
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.

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.
