The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is an IBM standard for creating technical documents using XML. This standard's focus is around topic-centric content, where such information would be disseminated to various formats.
The DocBook project was originally developed for exchange of UNIX documentation 10 years ago. It now is an OASIS standard and is one of the most recognized industry vocabularies for technical documents.
The DTD for GCA XML Conference Proceedings is an encoding method for papers presented at Graphic Communication Association (now IDEAlliance) XML conferences such as XML Europe 2002 and XML 2002.
